Lipids_Notes
... Lipids are formed by condensation reactions between fatty acids and an alcohol Fatty Acids Contain the acidic carboxyl –COOH group. Have the general formula R.COOH where R is hydrogen or a group such as CH3, C2H5, or C3H7 and so on. Usually many carbons in the fatty acids used to make lipids ...
