LIPIDS
KRITIKA CHANDEL
WHAT ARE LIPIDS?
• Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in non polar
solvents.
• Lipids can be dispersed uniformly in water in the form of
minute droplets.
• Lipids are the actual or potential esters of higher fatty
acids.
• Lipids are highly energetic.
FUNCTIONS
• Structural components of biological membranes.
• Energy reserves mainly in the form of triacyl-glycerols.
• Serve as vitamins and hormones or their precursors.
• Thermal insulators.
• Wax coating that protects plants.
CLASSIFICATION OF LIPIDS
FATTY ACIDS
• Fatty acids are long chain aliphatic carboxylic acids.
• Fatty acids in natural fats contain an even number of
carbon atoms.
• The carbon chains may be saturated (all single bonds) or
unsaturated (containing double bonds)
• The double bonds are usually in cis configurations.
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
• Linoleic acid, linolenic acid and arachidonic acid, these
cannot be synthesized in the body and must be obtained
from the diet. These are essential fatty acids.
WAXES
• Waxes are esters of fatty acids and long chain or higher
monohydroxy alcohols.
Examples:-
• LANOLIN
• SPERMACETI
• WAX-D
• BEEWAX
TRIGLYCERIDES
• These are commonly called simple fats or oils.
• These are particularly present in the adipose tissue of the
body.
• These are the esters of fatty acids and glycerol.
HYDROLYSIS OF TRIGLYCERIDES
SAPONIFICATION OF TRIGLYCERIDES
SOAPS
Each soap molecule has a long hydrocarbon chain,
sometimes called its 'tail', with a carboxylate 'head'. In
water, the sodium or potassium ions float free, leaving a
negatively-charged head.
HYDROGENATION OF TRIGLYCERIDES
PHOSPHOGLYCERIDES
• These are also called phospholipids.
• These in addition to fatty acid and glycerol, also contain a
phosphate.
• These are the main constituents of the cell membrane
lipids and are also found in brain and cardiac tissues.
LECITHINS:-These phospholipids are obtained when a
nitrogenous base choline gets attached to the -OH
group of phosphate of phosphatidic acid.
CEPHALINS:-Phosphoglycerides that contains the amino
alcohols ethanolamine or serine are called cephalins.
SPHINGOLIPIDS
• Sphingolipids are complex lipids that contain sphingosine
instead of glycerol.
• One important type of sphingolipids are the
sphingomyelins.
GLYCOLIPIDS
• Glycolipids are sphingolipids that contain carbohydrates
(usually monosaccharide).
• They are also referred to as cerebrosides because of their
abundance in brain tissue.
• These are present mainly in the outer part of the cell
membranes.
STEROIDS
• Steroids are classified as lipids because they are soluble in
nonpolar solvents, but they are nonsaponifiable.
• The basic steroid structure contains four fused rings.
CHOLESTEROL:-
• It is an essential component of cell membranes, and is a
precursor for other steroids.
• There is apparently a correlation between high levels of
cholesterol in the blood and atherosclerosis.
BILE ACIDS:-
• Bile is a yellowish brown or green fluid produced in the liver.
• Bile salts act like soaps and other emulsifiers.
PROSTAGLANDINS
• Prostaglandins are cyclic compounds synthesized from
arachidonic acid.
• Like hormones, they are involved in a host of body
processes, including reproduction, blood clotting,
inflammation, and fever.
