sterols, glycerides, and sphingolipids
What are 3 example of lipids?
fats, waxes, and sterols
What are the three types of lipids found in foods?
triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols
What are compound commonly known as fats and oils?
Lipids. The category lipids includes fats, oils, sterols, and waxes.
Do triglycerides and sterols have very similar chemical structures?
Not exactly, sterols are a subgroup of steroids and contain ring structured carbons. Triglycerides on the other hand have a glycerol backbone attached to three fatty acid units. Both sterols and triglycerides are lipids.
What are the three major divisions of lipids?
triacylglycerols phospholipids, and sterols
How lipids are stored in the body?
They are stored as triglycerides, phospholipids and sterols(cholesterol)Are you studying for Dr. Small's test?
Classification of lipids?
Lipids can be classified into several groups, including fatty acids, glycerolipids (such as triglycerides), glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, sterols (such as cholesterol), and terpenes. They all play various important roles in the body, such as energy storage, cell membrane structure, and signaling molecules.
Which organic molecule is related to lipids?
Fatty acids are the organic molecules related to lipids. They are the building blocks of many types of lipids, including triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols.
What elements do Lipids Contain?
Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. They are generally hydrophobic molecules, meaning they do not dissolve in water. Lipids include fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids, and sterols.
What are the sub-units of lipids?
The subunits of lipids are fats, oils, waxes, sterols and triglycerides.
What are the three common categories of lipids?
1. Phospholipids 2. Sterols 3. Triglycerides These are the correct answers.
