What are the main functions of lipids?
Referring to the diagrams above, the top structure is referred to as a _______________, while the bottom structure is a _________________.
The structure shown below is an example of a:
Match the following... there is one image for each type of lipid!
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
One of the fatty acids has a double bond in it which forms a bend/kink in the chain | arrow_right_alt | unsaturated triglyceride (oil) |
molecule that has water-loving and water-hating parts
| arrow_right_alt | saturated triglyceride (fat) |
All single bonds in the 3 fatty acids
| arrow_right_alt | 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)?
Describe the structure (how it is made) and function (its job) of triglycerides (fats/oils)
Describe the structure (how it is made) and function (its job) of phospholipids
Describe the structure (how it is made) and function (its job) of steroids
