EXPERIMENT 5A
PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
1. Identify the lipids that are part of simple, compound and
derived lipids.
I. Simple Lipids
A. Fats
• esters of fatty acids with glycerol
• They are found in nature in large quantities.
• They are the best reserve of food material in the human body.
• They act as insulator for the loss of body heat.
• They act as a padding material for protecting internal organs.
PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
1. Identify the lipids that are part of simple, compound and
derived lipids.
I. Simple Lipids
B. Waxes
• Waxes are simple lipids contain a fatty acid joined
to a long-chain (12-32 carbons) alcohol:
• Waxes are insoluble in water, and not as easily hydrolyzed as fats
and oils. They often occur in nature as protective coatings on
feathers, fur, skin, leaves, and fruits.
PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
1. Identify the lipids that are part of simple, compound and
derived lipids.
II. Compound Lipids
A. Phospholipids (phosphatides):
• esters of fatty acids with glycerol containing an esterified
phosphoric acid and a nitrogen
• increase the rate of fatty acid oxidation.
• act as carriers of inorganic ions across the membranes.
• Help in blood-clotting.
• act as prosthetic group to certain enzymes.
• form the structures of membranes, matrix of cell wall, myelin
sheath, microsomes and mitochondria.
PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
1. Identify the lipids that are part of simple, compound and derived
lipids.
II. Compound Lipids
B. Glycolipids:
• contain an amino alcohol (sphingosine or iso-sphingosine) attached
with an amide linkage to a fatty acid and glycosidically to a
carbohydrate (sugars, amino sugar, sialic acid)
PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
1. Identify the lipids that are part of simple, compound and derived
lipids.
II. Compound Lipids
B. Glycolipids:
• contain an amino alcohol (sphingosine or iso-sphingosine) attached
with an amide linkage to a fatty acid and glycosidically to a
carbohydrate (sugars, amino sugar, sialic acid)
PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
1. Identify the lipids that are part of simple, compound and derived
lipids.
III. Derived Lipids - Derived lipids are the substances derived from
simple and compound lipids by hydrolysis. These includes fatty acids
, alcohols , monoglycerides and diglycerides , steroids , terpenes,
carotenoids
A. Fatty acids:
• Fatty acids are long-chain carboxylic acids
PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
1. Identify the lipids that are part of simple, compound and derived
lipids.
III. Derived Lipids
B. Steroids are classified as lipids because they are soluble in
nonpolar solvents, but they are non saponifiable because the
components are not held together by ester linkages.
PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
1. Identify the lipids that are part of simple, compound and derived
lipids.
III. Derived Lipids
C. Alcohols found in lipid molecules include glycerol, cholesterol and
higher alcohols (acetyl alcohol), usually found in the waxes.
D. Terpenes – molecules are quite small and consist of repeating
units of a compound called isoprene
- play a vital role in plants, they deter insect predation, protect plants
from environmental stresses, and act as building blocks for more
complex molecules
PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
2. Draw the structures of the lipid samples in the
experiment.
a. Olive oil – predominantly composed of oleic acid
PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
2. Draw the structures of the lipid samples in the
experiment.
b. Coconut oil – predominantly composed of lauric acid
PRE-LAB ASSIGNMENT
2. Draw the structures of the lipid samples in the
experiment.
c. Lecithin - Phosphoglycerides that contains the
aminoalcohol
choline are called lecithins
