Fatty Acids Lipids Hydrophobic biomolecules mostly lang hydrocarbon chains Fatty acid: A fong-chain carboxylic acid Those in animal fats and vegetable oils often have 12-22 carbon atoms, Waxes: carboxylic acid esters, RCOOR' with long. straight hydrocarbon chains in both R groups Na Overall common structure found in all Secreted by sebaceous glands in the akin of animals perform mostly external protective functions Triacylglycerols: carboxylic acid triesters of glycerol, a three-carbon trialcohol They make up the fats stored in our bodies and most dietary fats and oils lipids Diverse functions. ergy rege fats oil A major source of biochemical energy fbwe Struthiwal Components Glycerophospholipids: triesters of glycerol that contain charged phosphate diester groups Abundant in cell membranes Chanical messeger nenpalar fail steroids είθοκοποίας Help to control the flow of molecules into and out of cels Lipids Lipad a naturally occuring plant ar Solvents animal soluble molecule fram a nonpelar organic in Sphingomyelins: amides derived from an amino alcohol (sphingosine) Contain charged phosphate diester groups Esserithal to the shructure of cell membranes and are abundant in nerve cull membrane neurons Glycolipids: different amides derived from sphingosing Contair polar cartofividrate groups On cell surfaces the carbohydrate portion is recognized by and connects messengers Sterols: tetracyclic molecules Incode ال boss and steroid chemical Eicotanoids: carboxylic acids that are a special type of intracellular chemical messenger Saturated fat bad un Saturated fat good
