Lipids:
- Organic compounds.
- Composed of C, H, and O.
- Building units are Glycerol & fatty acids.
- Linkage: ester bonds.
- Classified into: simple, compound and derivatives.
1. Simple lipids:
One molecule of glycerol & 3 fatty acids → one molecule of triglyceride ( lipid
molecule) & 3 molecules of water.
2. Compound lipids:
3. Derivatives:
Add 1 ml of Sudan III dye & 1ml oil, then shake vigorously and observe.
You will notice that the two layers of sudan III and oil mix together to form one layer.
Shake vigorously
Like dissolves like: Organic compounds dissolve other organic compounds, while
inorganic compounds dissolve inorganic compounds.
- Lipid solubility:
To 1ml oil on a test tube, add 2ml of ether, acetone, CCl4, alcohol & water separately,
and then watch the result.
