Lipids (Greeklipos= fat, grease) are naturally occurring organic substances insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents, such as acetic acid and acetone. Foods high in lipids include oils, meats, poultry, oily fish, chocolate, dairy, nuts and seeds. ...
This lesson discusses lipids that are important in biological systems. As part of this lesson, we will consider the formation of triglycerides and...
Importance of Complex Lipids Complex lipids are crucial for various biological processes. Their role in cell membrane structure is fundamental for life. They are involved in cell signaling, nerve function, and energy metabolism. Additionally, they contribute to the structure and function of ot...
Non-pigmented plastids used for storing starches, lipids, and proteins are calledleucoplasts. Chloroplasts The most talked-about type of plastid is the chloroplast. These organelles are responsible for making plants green and producing energy for the cells and the plants as a whole. They are fill...
They are found in the non-photosynthetic parts of the plant, such as the roots. Depending on what the plant needs, they may become essentially just storage sheds for starches, lipids, and proteins. They are more readily used for synthesizing amino acids and fatty acids. ...
Macromolecules are large, complex molecules which are usually formed from the product of smaller molecules like, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.

A typical example is the breakdown of sugar (glucose into CO2 and H2O). During these reactions, energy stored in covalent bonds such as C-C bonds will get released. These pathways can also operate on energy-storing molecules like lipids and glycogen to release energy and make ATP. Explore ...
of acronyms and numbers. Some of those acronyms represent structures in your blood calledlipoproteins. Like the name suggests, lipoproteins are made up of lipids and proteins. Before we get into more detail, lets first review the different types of macromolecules and what happens when we eat ...
Learn what fatty acids are and how fatty acid molecules function. Understand the definition of fatty acid and the profile, composition, and types...
