Kinds of lipids

Answer 1

The different types of lipids are triglycerides, sterols, and phospholipids. Triglycerides include many fats and sterols, including cholesterol. A phospholipid consists of two fatty acids, glycerol, and a phosphate group.

Answer 2

A lipid is also known as a fat. Just as there are different types of fat, so too are there different types of lipids. Animals that are very different, produce different types of fat. For example, fresh water fish and frogs have kinds of fat that help them keep from freezing. Most animal cells have lipids in their cell membranes. Lipids are remarkable because they are dipoles, that is, they have charged ends like a magnet. This property is due to the combination and order of the underlying atoms that make up the molecule. In a sense, they appear as little polywogs. The head is usually positively charged and the tail negatively charged. When you have zillions of these things in water they tend to line up in the same orientation to the water molecules, that is the heads are towards the water (hydrophilic) and the tails orient away from the water (hydrophobic). This forms a natural membrane that we see in animal cells. The different lipids are distinguished by what atoms make up the head, what atoms make up the tails and how long the tails are. One kind of lipid is a phospholipid, where a phosphate anion makes up the head.

Answer 3

There are six types of lipids:

Fatty Acids

Unsaturated

Saturated

Monosaturated

Polysaturated

Triglycerides

Answer 4

Both cholesterol and triglycerides are lipids

Answer 5

Triglycerides, steroids, phospholipids, fatty acids, and waxes.

Answer 6

four kinds of lipids, include triglyceride (Fat), Phospholipid, phosphorous and Fatty acids.

Answer 7

There are three types of lipids: Phospholipids, Glycolipids, and Cholesterol.
