fatty acids:

im not sure yet so look on Google!!



Fatty acids form the building blocks of phospholipids and glycolipids. These are amphipathic molecules and this characteristic feature makes them as a significant section of the biological membranes.

Proteins which need to serve the signaling purposes are modified by the fatty acids by the formation of covalent bonding between the two. This facilitates these proteins to reach their targets located on the membrane cells accurately.

Fatty acids are the top fuel molecules inside the body which release enormous energy on burning.
