2 Nutrient Atoms Monomers Polymers Function Lipids (Non-Polar) A. Saturated B. Unsaturated C. Phospholipid D. Steroids Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen (Ratio of H:O is greater than 2:1) Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen (Ratio of H:O is greater than 2:1) Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen (Ratio of H:O is greater than 2:1) Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen, Phosphorus, Nitrogen (Ratio of H:O is greater than 2:1) Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen (Ratio of H:O is greater than 2:1) 1 Glycerol + 3 Fatty Acids 1 Glycerol + 3 Fatty Acids “Triglycerides” Fats Fats -solid at room temp - animal lipids Examples butter, cream, lard Long term energy storage Rich energy source Insulation 1 Glycerol + 3 Fatty Acids “Triglycerides” OilsOils-liquid at room temp -plant lipids Examples vegetable, corn, Long term energy storage Rich energy source 1 Glycerol + 2 Fatty Acids + 1 Phosphate Cell membranes Separates inside and outside of cells 4 ring carbon groups Hormones testosterone estrogen cortisone Cholesterol Secondary sex traits: males females inflammation Fluidity of membranes Oils (liquid) Fats (solid) Waxes Steroids - end in “ols” Energy storage Richest energy Source Protection Water proofing Hormones
