Lipids
15.1 Lipids
15.2 Fatty Acids
1
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 organic solvents.
2
Types of Lipids
The types of lipids containing fatty acids are
• waxes
• fats and oils (triacylglycerols)
• glycerophospholipids
• prostaglandins
The types of lipids that do not contain fatty acids are
• steroids

Classes of Lipids
Triglycerides

Fatty Acids
Fatty acids are
• long-chain carboxylic acids.
• typically 12-18 carbon atoms.
• insoluble in water.
• saturated or unsaturated.
Olive oil contains 84%
unsaturated fatty acids and
16% saturated fatty acids.
5
Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty
Acids
Fatty acids are
• saturated with
all single C–C
bonds.
• unsaturated
with one or
more double
C=C bonds.

Properties of Saturated Fatty Acids
Saturated fatty acids
• contain only single C–C bonds.
• are closely packed.
• have strong attractions between chains.
• have high melting points.
• are solids at room temperature.

Properties of Unsaturated Fatty
Acids
Unsaturated fatty acids
• contain one or more cis double C=C
bonds.
• have “kinks” in the fatty acid chains.
• do not pack closely.
• have few attractions between chains.
• have low melting points.
• are liquids at room temperature.

Learning Check
Assign the melting points of –17 °C, 13 °C, and 69 °C
to the correct fatty acid. Explain.
stearic acid (18 C)
oleic acid
(18 C)
linoleic acid (18 C)
saturated
one double bond
two double bonds
11
Solution
Stearic acid is saturated and would have a higher
melting point than the unsaturated fatty acids.
Because linoleic has two double bonds, it would have
a lower mp than oleic acid, which has one double
bond.

Waxes are
• esters of saturated fatty acids and long-chain alcohols.
• coatings that prevent loss of water by leaves of plants.

14
Fats and Oils: Triglycerides or
Triacylglycerols
Fats and oils are
• also called triglycerides.
• esters of glycerol.
• produced by esterification.
• Formed when the hydroxyl
groups of glycerol react with the
carboxyl groups of fatty acids.
15
Triglycerides (Triacylglycerols)
In a triglyceride, glycerol forms ester bonds with three
fatty acids.

Melting Points of Fats and Oils
A fat
• is usually solid at room temperature.
• is prevalent in meats, whole milk, butter, and cheese.
An oil
• is usually liquid at room temperature.
• is prevalent in plants such as olive and safflower.
18
Oils with Unsaturated Fatty Acids
Oils
• have more unsaturated fats.
• have cis double bonds that cause “kinks” in the fatty
acid chains.
• with “kinks” in the chains do not allow the
triacylglycerol molecules to pack closely.
• have lower melting points than saturated fatty acids.
• are liquids at room temperature.

Chemical Properties of Triglycerides
24
Chemical Properties of
Triglycerides
The chemical reactions of triglycerides are similar
to 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.
25
Hydrogenation of Oils
The hydrogenation of oils
• adds hydrogen (H2) to
the carbon atoms of
double bonds.
• converts double bonds
to single bonds.
• increases the melting
point.
• produces solids, such as
margarine and shortening.

Hydrogenation and Trans Fatty
Acids
Most naturally occurring fatty acids have cis double
bonds.
• During hydrogenation, some cis double bonds are converted to
trans double bonds.
• In the body, trans fatty acids behave like saturated fatty acids.
• It is estimated that 2-4% of our total Calories is in the form of
trans fatty acid.
• Several studies reported that trans fatty acids raise LDLcholesterol and lower HDL-cholesterol.

Cell Membranes
Cell membranes
• separate cellular contents from the external
environment.
• consist of a lipid bilayer made of two rows of
phospholipids.
• have an inner portion made of the nonpolar tails of
phospholipids with the polar heads at the outer and
inner surfaces.
61
Fluid Mosaic Model of Cell
Membranes
The 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 Through Cell Membranes
The transport of substances through cell membranes
involves
• simple 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.
• active transport, which moves ions against a
concentration gradient.
