Lipids
Lipids are biomolecules that contain fatty acids or a steroid
nucleus. soluble in organic solvents, but not in water. named for the Greek word lipos, which means “fat.” extracted from cells using nonpolar organic solvents. natural components of cell membranes, fat-soluble
vitamins, and steroid hormones.

Lipids
There are 2 types of lipids; those that contain the structural component of a fatty
acid; and
those that contain the structural component of a four member steroid molecule.

Types of Lipids
The lipids that contain fatty acids are waxes, fats and oils (triacylglycerols), glycerophospholipids, and prostaglandins.
The types of lipids that do not contain fatty acid chainsare steroids.

A triacylglycerol that is usually called a fat is solid at room temperature. is prevalent in meats, whole milk, butter, and cheese.
A triacylglycerol that is usually called an oil is liquid at room temperature. is prevalent in plants, such as olive and safflower.
40© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 17, Section 1
Oils with Unsaturated Fatty Acids
Oils have more unsaturated fats. have cis double bonds that cause “kinks” in the fatty
acid chains. cannot pack triacylglycerol molecules as closely
together as in fats. have lower melting points than do saturated fats. are liquids at room temperature.
41© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 17, Section 1

17.4Chemical Properties of
Triacylglycerols
Chapter 17Lipids
Lectures
44© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 17, Section 1
The chemical reactions of triacylglycerols are similarto those of alkenes and esters. In hydrogenation, double bonds in unsaturated
fatty acids react with H2 in the presence of a Ni or Pt catalyst.
In hydrolysis, ester bonds are split by water in the presence of an acid, a base, or an enzyme.
Chemical Properties of Triacylglycerols
45© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 17, Section 1
Hydrogenation of Glyceryl Trioleate
In a hydrogenation reaction, H2 adds across the double bond to form a carbon–carbon single bond.
46© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 17, Section 1
Hydrogenation of Oils
The hydrogenation of oils converts double bonds to single bonds, adds hydrogen (H2) to the carbon atoms of double
bonds, increases the melting point, and produces solids, such as margarine and shortening
47© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 17, Section 1
Learning Check

Olestra, a Fat Substitute
Olestra is used in foods as an artificial fat. composed of 6–8 long-chain fatty acids attached by
ester links to a sucrose (not glycerol) molecule. not broken down in the intestinal tract.
50© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 17, Section 1
Unsaturated fatty acids can be cis with bulky groups on the same side of , or
trans with bulky groups on opposite sides of .
Cis and Trans Fatty Acids
51© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 17, Section 1
Trans Fatty Acids and Hydrogenation Trans fatty acids are formed during hydrogenation when cis double
bonds are converted to an undesirable side product with a trans double bond.
in the body behave like saturated fatty acids. are estimated to make up 2–4% of our total
calories.
The American Heart Association recommends the use of soft margarine, which is only slightly hydrogenated and therefore has fewer trans fatty acids.
52© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 17, Section 1
Trans Fats
In vegetable oils, the unsaturated fats usually contain cis double
bonds. during hydrogenation, some cis double bonds are
converted to trans double bonds (more stable), causing a change in the fatty acid structure.

Hydrolysis
In acid or enzyme hydrolysis, water adds to the ester bonds. triacylglycerols hydrolyze forming glycerol and three
fatty acids. a strong acid, such as HCl or H2SO4, or an enzyme
catalyst is required.
57© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 17, Section 1
Base Hydrolysis (Saponification )
In base hydrolysis (saponification), a triacylglycerol reacts with heat and a strong base. a triacylglycerol splits into glycerol and the salts of
fatty acids (soap). a solid soap that can be molded into a desired shape
is produced when NaOH is used. a softer, liquid soap is produced when KOH is used. polyunsaturated oils produce softer soaps.

Multiple Sclerosis
In multiple sclerosis, sphingomyelin is lost from the myelin sheath, which
protects the neurons in the brain and spinal cord. scars form on the neurons and impair the

Cell Membranes
Cell membranes have a lipid bilayer that separates cellular contents from the external
environment. contains two layers of glycerophospholipids arranged
with their hydrophilic heads at the outer and inner membrane surfaces and their hydrophobic tails in the center.

Fluid Mosaic Model of Cell MembranesThe lipid bilayer contains proteins, carbohydrates, and cholesterol. has unsaturated fatty acids that make cell
membranes fluid-like rather than rigid. has proteins and carbohydrates on the surface that
communicate with hormones and neurotransmitters.

Transport Pathways Through Cell MembranesThe transport of substances through cell membranesinvolves diffusion (passive transport), which moves
particles from a higher to a lower concentration; facilitated transport, which uses protein channels
to increase the rate of diffusion; and active transport, which moves ions against a
concentration gradient.
