Slide 2: Introduction to Lipids. 12/20/2023. Definition of Lipids Lipids are a diverse group of organic compounds characterized by their hydrophobic nature They include fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids Importance in Biological Systems Essential for cell structure, energy storage, and signaling Play a crucial role in the structure of cell membranes.

Slide 3: Classification of Lipids. 12/20/2023. Overview of Major Lipid Classes Fatty Acids Triglycerides Phospholipids Steroids.

Slide 4: Fatty Acids. 12/20/2023. Structure of Fatty Acids Long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxyl group Variability in chain length and saturation Saturated vs. Unsaturated Saturated: No double bonds, solid at room temperature Unsaturated: Double bonds, liquid at room temperature Role in Energy Storage Building blocks for triglycerides Efficient energy storage.

Slide 5: Triglycerides. 12/20/2023. Structure and Composition Composed of three fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol molecule Major form of energy storage in adipose tissue Function as Energy Storage Broken down into fatty acids during metabolic processes Release energy when needed Dietary Sources Commonly found in oils, butter, and fatty foods.

Slide 6: Phospholipids. 12/20/2023. Structure and Composition Similar to triglycerides but contain a phosphate group Amphipathic structure Role in Cell Membranes Essential for the formation of cell membranes Arranged in a bilayer, creating a selectively permeable barrier Amphipathic Nature Hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic heads.

Slide 7: Steroids. 12/20/2023. Structure of Steroids Four fused rings, different functional groups Examples: Cholesterol, hormones Cholesterol and its Functions Critical component of cell membranes Precursor for steroid hormones Hormones derived from Steroids Testosterone, estrogen, cortisol.

Slide 8: Functions of Lipids. 12/20/2023. Energy Storage Efficient storage of energy in the form of fats Structural Components of Cell Membranes Phospholipids and cholesterol contribute to membrane structure Signaling Molecules Some lipids act as signaling molecules, influencing cellular processes.
