Moreover, phospholipids form the base for lipid bilayer, by their amphipathic nature that makes up cell membranes. Also, the outer layer of the lipid relates with water whereas the inner layer exists as an elastic oily substance. Most noteworthy, they participate in cell division because it regu...
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...
There are four different kinds of lipids. There are the triglycerides, also known as the fats; these include typical food items such as butter or olive oil. There are steroids, which is what hormones such as estrogen and testosterone are composed of. Waxes are a third type, and they includ...
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 ...
There are various other functions of proteins in the body.Figure 2: Basic structure of a protein. Lipids Lipids are organic compounds that encompass fats, oils, glycerides (di-/tri), waxes, steroids, and phospholipids. Lipids are the ester of the glycerol and fatty acid molecules. Lipid ...

Besides lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and other polysaccharides [39], the recovery of the lipid fraction is of primary interest for this type of raw material. Compounds such as triacylglycerols (TAGs), diacylglycerols (1,2 DAGs), diterpene alcohol esters, fatty acids, sterols, caffeine cafesto...
