Describe the structure (how it is made) and function (its job) of phospholipids

Required

Describe the structure (how it is made) and function (its job) of steroids

What are the main functions of lipids?

long term energy storage (not immediate)

insulation and cushioning (keep heat in and protect internal organs)

used as building molecule for cell membranes

chemical signals (hormones) that regulate many processes including the stress response and muscle mass

all of the above

Referring to the diagrams above, the top structure is referred to as a _, while the bottom structure is a ___.

hydrocarbon, hydrocarbon with double bond

unsaturated fatty acid, saturated fatty acid

saturated fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid

both are saturated fatty acids

both are unsaturated fatty acids

The structure shown below is an example of a:

saturated fat

saturated triglyceride

steroid

phospholipid

Match the following... there is one image for each type of lipid!

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
One of the fatty acids has a double bond in it which forms a bend/kink in the chain		unsaturated triglyceride (oil)
molecule that has water-loving and water-hating parts		saturated triglyceride (fat)
All single bonds in the 3 fatty acids		phospholipid

Drag and Drop

found mostly in plant-based foods & some fish
found in most animal food products
man-made versions that can increase muscle mass
molecule with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic areas
unhealthiest fat - created by food industry - food industry is now banned from using
healthiest fat - should try to include in your diet as much as possible
molecule that is used to build cell membranes
lipid that prescribed as a drug can help reduce inflammation and help conditions such as asthma, allergies and autoimmune diseases

Saturated Fat (triglyceride)
Unsaturated Fat (triglyceride)
Phospholipids
Steroids
Trans Fat

Which of these shows the correct way phospholipids organize themselves when placed in water (and to make a cell membrane)?
