Types of Lipids and Their Structure

Description

Lipids are a major group of biological molecules, and their structure helps explain their different forms. Many lipids are built from fatty acids, which are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxyl group. The carbon chain is hydrophobic, meaning it does not mix well with water, while the carboxyl group is the acidic end.

Transcript

Lipide sind eine Gruppe hydrophober Moleküle, zu denen Triglyceride gehören, die zur Energiespeicherung verwendet werden, und Phospholipide, die die Hauptstrukturkomponenten der Zellmembranen sind.

Triglyceride und die meisten Phospholipide bestehen aus Glycerin- und Fettsäureketten.

Fettsäuren haben Methylgruppen an einem Ende der...
