Fatty Acids

Fatty acids have a long hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl (acid) group

Typical for of fatty acids : CH3 –(CH2)n –COOH

Saturated- Unsaturated Fatty Acids

Hydrophobic- Hydrophilic Groups

The hydrocarbon tail is extremely hydrophobic and so is insoluble in water. In contrast, the carboxylic acid group is extremely hydrophilic.

Fats

FAT consists of three-

carbon backbone called

glycerol attached to three

fatty acids, which contain

long hydrocarbon chains .

Ester Bond Formation

Phosphoglycerids

Phospholglycerides are

esters of only two fatty

acids, phosphoric acid

and a trifunctional alcohol

- glycerol (IUPAC name is

1,2,3-propantriol). The

fatty acids are attached to

the glycerol at the 1 and 2

positions on glycerol

through ester bonds.

Phospholipids

Phospholipids have a

structure like a

triglyceride,but contain a

phosphate group in place

of the third fatty acid.

The phosphate group is

polar and therefore

capable of interacting with

water molecules.

STEROIDSSteroids have a backbone of 4 carbon rings.

Cholesterol is the precursor of several other steroids, including several hormones.  

It is also an important component of cell membranes.
