In your body there are specialized cells, lipid or fat cells.
They take in various carbohydrates from the blood
(especially sugar if insulin is present)
and including fatty acids,
and convert them all into lipids
which are stored in the fat cells ... until needed.
Grease spots in lipids are due to the hydrophobic nature of lipids, which allows them to repel water and form greasy spots. Lipids have long hydrocarbon chains that are nonpolar and interact with each other more than with water, leading to the formation of these greasy spots.
Lipids are mostly made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. These two elements form the hydrocarbon chains found in lipids, which provide energy storage and structural components in biological systems.
Lipids are soaked in water because they do not dissolve in water but the ethanol will allow the lipid to dissolve such that when diluted the ethanol will fall out of solution to form an emulsion.
The monomer for a lipid would be 3 fatty acids and a glycerol molecule.
Lipids do not have monomers and they themselves are the polymer
true or false animals store lipids in the form of oil while plants store lipids in the form of fats
yes, steriods is a form of lipids. lipids aresteroids, which have structures totally different from the other classes of lipids
saturated
Lipids do not form polymers.
Lipids enter cells in the form of lipoprotein particles. These particles are composed of lipids and proteins and are used to transport lipids across cell membranes. Once inside the cell, lipids can be broken down and utilized for energy or stored for future use.
fats (lipids)
No...
Lipids are fats, or to be technical, they are non-polar organic molecules. They do form large molecules but they do not polymerize.
The storage form of carbohydrates is glycogen, proteins are stored as amino acids, and lipids are stored as triglycerides in living organisms.
Because the lipids in plants are "unsaturated" (double bonds with hydrogen ensure a smaller amount of hydrogens are bonded to the fatty acid), kinks form in the chain. These kinks make the lipids difficult to "pack" and form a solid. For this reason, lipids from plants are usually liquid at room temperature. Usually we refer to them as "oils".
No,the difference is that cholestrol is the form of lipids
Polar solvents like water would be least soluble in lipids because lipids are nonpolar molecules. Lipids are hydrophobic, meaning they do not interact well with water. This is why lipids form structures such as cell membranes to separate their hydrophobic tails from water.
