Lipids
Lipids are
Biomolecules that contain fatty acids or a steroid
nucleus.
Soluble in an organic solvents (e.g., ether, benzene,
acetone, chloroform) but not in water.
Named for the Greek word lipos, which means fat.
Extracted from cells using organic solvents.

Nutritional Uses of Lipids


We already know that lipids are concentrated sources
of energy (9.45 kcal/g)
other functions:
1) provide means whereby fat-soluble nutrients (e.g.,
sterols, vitamins) can be absorbed by the body
2) structural element of cell, subcellular components
3) components of hormones and precursors for
prostaglandin synthesis

Types of Lipids
The types of lipids containing fatty acids are
Waxes.
Fats and oils (triacylglycerols).
Glycerophospholipids.
Prostaglandins.
Not steroids, as they do not contain fatty acids.

Lipid Classes
Simple
: FAs esterified with glycerol
Compound
: same as simple, but with other
compounds also attached
Phospholipids : fats containing phosphoric acid and
nitrogen (lecithin)
Glycolipids
: FAs compounded with CHO, but no N
derived lipids : substances from the above derived by
hydrolysis
Sterols
: large molecular with alcohols found in
nature and combined w/FAs (e.g., cholesterol)

Comparing Melting Points of Some


Fatty Acids

Learning Check
Assign the melting points of 17C, 13C, and 69C
to the correct fatty acid. Explain.
stearic acid (18 C) saturated
oleic acid (18 C) one double bond
linoleic acid (18 C) two double bonds

19

Solution
Stearic acid is saturated and would have a higher
melting point than the unsaturated fatty acids.
Because linoleic has two double bonds, it would have
a lower mp than oleic acid, which has one double
bond.
stearic acid mp 69C saturated
oleic acid mp 13C
linoleic acid mp -17C most unsaturated

Prostaglandins are powerful hormones in mammalian systems


Prostaglandins were first isolated from the prostate gland (seminal

Prostaglandins have a five-membered ring with a 7-carbon side chain
(often ending in a carboyxlic acid group) adjacent to an 8-carbon chain

Prostaglandins in the Body


Prostaglandins are
Produced by injured
tissues.

46

Chemical Properties of Triacylglycerols


The chemical reactions of triacylglycerols are similar
to those of alkenes and esters.
In hydrogenation, double bonds in unsaturated
fatty acids react with H2 in the presence of a Ni or
Pt catalyst.
In hydrolysis, ester bonds are split by water in the
presence of an acid, a base, or an enzyme.

47

Hydrogenation of Oils
The hydrogenation of oils
Adds hydrogen (H2) to the carbon atoms of double bonds.
Converts double bonds to single bonds.
Increases the melting point.
Produces solids such as margarine and shortening.

Membranes involves
Diffusion (passive transport), which moves
particles from a higher to a lower concentration.
Facilitated transport, which uses protein channels
to increase the rate of diffusion.
Active transport, which moves ions against a
concentration gradient.
