+ Lipids Which molecule contains more energy? Lipid molecule Glucose molecule The amount of energy in a molecule depends on the number of bonds it contains. Which molecule has more energy: glucose (a sugar) or a lipid?

+ Types of Lipids n Saturated fats such as butter, which you get from

+ Types of Lipids n Saturated fats such as butter, which you get from animals n Butter comes from a cow’s milk n Unsaturated fats such as oil, which you get from plants n Olive oil is a type of oil that comes from olives

+ Lipids Saturated Fats Saturated fats are generally animal products. Having all the spaces

+ Lipids Saturated Fats Saturated fats are generally animal products. Having all the spaces for H atoms filled means that saturated fats are solid at room temperature.

+ Lipids Unsaturated Fats Unsaturated fats are generally plant products (olive oil, nuts, etc.

+ Lipids Unsaturated Fats Unsaturated fats are generally plant products (olive oil, nuts, etc. ) Having some H atoms missing means that saturated fats are liquid at room temperature.

+ Lipids Formation n. Two building blocks of lipids are: fatty acids and glycerol

+ Lipids Formation n. Two building blocks of lipids are: fatty acids and glycerol n. Lipids are made of 3 fatty acids attached to glycerol

+ Fatty Acids of Lipids n The fatty acids of the lipid has two

+ Fatty Acids of Lipids n The fatty acids of the lipid has two parts: an hydrophilic head (water-loving) and a hydrophobic tail (water-fearing) n The form of the fatty acid causes the lipid to not be to dissolve in water

+ Lipids as Long-Term Storage n. Lipids are used for long-term energy storage n

+ Lipids as Long-Term Storage n. Lipids are used for long-term energy storage n Because lipids are fat, they contain more calories and so it can store the calories to be used later
