That depends on the lipid. There are hundreds, if not thousands.
Their general formula is CH 3 -(CH 2 ) n -COOH, where n specifies the methylene groups.
CH 3 -(CH 2 ) n -COOH
Their general formula is CH 3 -(CH 2 ) n -COOH, where n specifies the methylene groups. This is the chemical formula of simple lipids. Compound lipids may contain other substituents like phosphates.
Nitrogen. The general formula for amino acids is NH2CHRCOOH. The empirical formula for carbohydrates (sugars) is CX(H2O)X while generally lipids are made up of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Some lipids are known in include nitrogen or phosphorus in their structures.
Some lipids do have grease spots and some lipids do not have grease spots. The lipids that get them typically contain sphingosine or glycerol.
Unlike the proteins,nucleic acid and polysaccharides, lipids are not polymers. It is because it do not contain any fixed monomeric units instead it has a long chain of methylene groups (-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-)and has a general formula : CH3-(CH2)n-COOH
Lipids are hydrophobic. This quality means that they repel water rather than draw it in.
amino acids
LDL (low density lipids) is a mixture of several lipids so it can not be represented by a single formula.
No, proteins and lipids (fats) are two different classifications of organic molecular constructs.
carbohydrates and lipids
They are insoluble in water, have high energy content, content little amount of inter-molecular water.
Their general formula is CH 3 -(CH 2 ) n -COOH, where n specifies the methylene groups. This is the chemical formula of simple lipids. Compound lipids may contain other substituents like phosphates.
OK lipids do not suck as answered previously....The compounds called lipids are grouped together because they share one important trait: They have little or no affinity for water. The hydrophobic behavior of lipids is based on their molecular structure. Although they may have some polar bonds associated with oxygen, lipids consist mostly of hydrocarbons. Smaller than true (polymeric) macromolecules, lipids are a highly varied group in both form and function. Lipids include waxes and certain pigments, but we will focus on the most biologically important types of lipids: fats, phospholipids, and steroids.
There are a great many kinds of lipids see the Sources and related links below. Lipids may be broadly defined as hydrophobic or amphiphilic small molecules.
Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration. they use raw materials such as------------- molecular oxygen to oxidise the carbohydrates and lipids
Pathogen-associated molecular patterns are a set of class-specific molecules constitutively expressed in pathogens. They may be made of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and/or nucleic acid. They may be located inside of outside the pathogen.
Lipids are naturally occurring molecular structures, often with the purposes of storing energy, and signalling and acting as structural components of cell membranes. These structures include fats, waxes, sterols, and fat-soluble vitamins.
The literal definition of the term macromolecule implies any large molecule. The term macromolecule was coined by Nobel laureate Hermann Staudinger in the 1920s.In the context of science and engineering, the term may be applied to conventional polymers and biopolymers (such as DNA) as well as non-polymeric molecules with large molecular mass such as lipids or macrocycles. However, other large networks of atoms, such as metallic covalent networks or fullerenes, are not generally described as macromolecules.
