Chemical composition of lipids

Answer 1

Lipids are not water soluble, they are fat soluble (and are considered a kind of fat or oil). They have a high energy content and can be metabolized to release calories, but they have many other uses as well. Lipids help to create lasting structures within the body, since water soluble substances would not last in an aqueous environment. Lipids are also electrical insulators and are needed to insulate nerve axons so that they can transmit an electro-chemical impulse over relatively long distances. They also are in our urine and smell like rotten fish, but mostly rich buttery sause.

Answer 2

They are hydrophobic (repel water). They are made up of triglycerides (a glycerol with 3 fatty acid chains bonded to it). If there are no double bonds in any fatty acid chain then the fat, or lipid is saturated.

Answer 3

Lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen primarily, with some lipids also containing phosphorus and nitrogen. The main building blocks of lipids are fatty acids, which are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid group at one end. The specific composition and arrangement of these fatty acids determine the type of lipid, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, or cholesterol.
