Lipids, as a class of compounds, are insoluble in water but are soluble in other organic solvents. Examples of such solvents include acetone and ether. Waxes, steroids, phospholipids,andfatsare the most common types of lipid groups. Fats haveglycerolin addition to three fatty acids. The structu...
Lipids are an organic chemical family made up of fats and oils. These molecules have a lot of energy and are involved in a variety of actions in the human body. Lipids are made up of a glycerol molecule attached to three fatty acid molecules. Such a lipid is called triglyceride. Lipids ...
Lipid polymers can also be arranged to create phospholipids, waxes, and steroids.Phospholipidsare similar to triglycerides, except one fatty acid chain is replaced with a phosphate group. The structure of a phospholipid Polymer of Lipids: Examples ...

we have our waxes, which are basically an alcohol ester with a fatty acid connected. We have our Glycerolipids, and here, this one can be broken down into our Triacylglycerols, sometimes called our Triglycerides. Here, it's just a glycerol molecule connected to three fatty acid groups. It...
Figure 2: Basic structure of a protein. Lipids Lipidsare organic compounds that encompass fats, oils, glycerides (di-/tri), waxes, steroids, and phospholipids. Lipids are the ester of theglyceroland fatty acid molecules. Lipid molecules are of various lengths and different degrees of saturation ...

and proton transfer. Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis, using strong acids like HCl or H2SO4, also yields glycerol and fatty acids through a stepwise process. Both methods highlight the importance of ester bondcleavagein lipid chemistry, emphasizing the role of hydroxide ions and hydronium ions in forming...
Here in this practice question, we're told that the following molecule represents a synthetic androgen that has been used to treat breast cancer. Number the Carbon Atoms with groups in red. Right. So here, this is great practice. We have our basic structure of our steroid. Remember when it...
