LIPIDS
LIPIDS
lip= fat
- Makes up 18 - 25 % of body mass in lean adults.
-Contain CARBON, HYDROGEN and OXYGEN.
But they do not have a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen
LIPIDS ARE HYDROPHILIC
The proportion of electronegative oxygen atoms in lipids is usually smaller than carbohydrates.
- so there are fewer polar covalent bonds.
As a result , most lipids are insoluble in polar solvents such as water.
Only the smallest lipids (some fatty acids ) can dissolve in watery blood plasma.
LIPOPROTEINS
To become more soluble in blood plasma, lipidn molecules join with hydrophilic protein molecules.
The resulting lipid- protein complexes are called lipoproteins.
-Are soluble
- because proteins are outside and
lipids are on the inside.
LIPID FAMILY
1. FATTY ACIDS
2. TRIGLYCERIDES
3. PHOSPHOLIPIDS
4. STEROIDS
5. EICOSANOIDS
6. OTHERS
1. FATTY ACIDS
- Used to synthesize triglycerides and phospholipids.

- consists of
- a carboxyl group
and
- a hydrocarbon group chain.
- can be either saturated or unsaturated.
1. SATURATED FATTY ACID
- Contains only single covalent bond between carbon atoms of the hydrocarbon chain.
Because they lack double bonds, each carbon atom of hydrocarbon chain is saturated with hydrogen atom.
eg. Palmitic acid C15H31COOH.
2. UNSATURATED FATTY ACID
Contains
1 orv more double covalent bonds between carbon atoms of the hydrocarbon chain.
Thus the fatty acid is not completely saturated with hydrogen atoms.
eg. Oleic acid C17H33COOH
The unsaturated fatty acid has a KINK/ BEND at the site of the double bond.
MONOUNSATURATED FATTY ACID
If fatty acid has just 1 double bond in hydrocarbon chain.
eg. Oleic acid.
POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACID - PUFA
If fatty acid more than 1 double bond in hydrocarbon chain.
- contains more than a kink / bend

-Believed to work together to promote health.
1. may have a protective effect against heart disease and stroke.
- by lowering total cholesterol
- raising HDL / good cholesterol.

2. Decrease bone loss
- by increasing calcium utilization by body.
3. Reduce symptoms of arthritis due to inflammation

CIS- FATTY ACIDS
- An unsaturated fatty acid with with hydrogen atom on either side of the double bond are on the same side of the unsaturated fatty acid
- are nutritionally beneficial.
- used by the body to produce hormone like regulators and cell membrane
When cis- fatty acids are heated , pressurized and combined with a catalyst (usually nickel) by hydrogenation
- they are changed to unhealthy trans- fatty acids
TRANS- FATTY ACIDS
Hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of the double bond of an unsaturated fatty acid
Hydrogenation is used by manufacturers to make vegetable oils solid at room temperature
-and less likely to turn rancid.
Hydrogenated / trans- fatty acids are common in
- commercially baked goods
- crackers
- cakes
- cookies
- salty snack foods
- some margarine's
fried foods- donuts, french fries
When oil is used fro frying, and if the oils reused,
- cis- fatty acids are converted to trans- fatty acids.
If a product label contains the word hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated,
- then the product contains trans - fatty acids
ADVERSE EFFECTS OF TRANS- FATTY ACIDS
1. Increase in total cholesterol.

but different structure
eg.
Molecular formula for glucose and fructose are both C6H12O6
But structural formula differs giving different chemical properties
- because relative positions of oxygen and carbon atoms are different.
-
- Always contain Carbon
- Usually contain Hydrogen
-Always have covalent bonds.
- Many are made up of long chain of Carbon atoms
-Make up 38- 43 % of the human body.
- Have unique characteristics that allow them to carry out complex functions.
IMPORTANT CATEGORIES
1. CARBOHYDRATES
2. LIPIDS
3. PROTEINS
4. NUCLEIC ACIDS
5. ATP
CARBON AND FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
Carbon can form bond with 1 to 1000 carbon atoms to produce large molecules that can have different shapes
CARBON SKELETON
The chain of carbon atoms in an organic molecule.
HYDROCARBONS
Carbons bonded to Hydrogen atoms.
FUNCTIONAL GROUP
An atom or group of atoms
- that replaces hydrogen in an organic compound
- that defines the structure of a family of compounds
- determines the properties of the family.
Each type of functional group has a specific arrangement of atoms that confers characteristic chemical properties on the organic molecules attached to it.
MAJOR FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
R = VARIABLE GROUP.
1. Hydroxyl R - O - H
2. Sulfhydryl R - S -H
3. Carbonyl R - C=O.
4. Carboxyl R - COOH
5. Ester R - COO
6. Phosphate R - PO4 2–
7. Amino R - NH2
1. Hydroxyl -OH
R - O -H
- Alcohols
- Contain an -OH group
-Is polar
and
hydrophilic due to its electronegative Oxygen atom.
- Molecules with many -OH groups
- dissolve easily in water
eg. Ethanol - C2H5OH
2. Sulfhydryl -SH
R - S - H
THIOLS or MERCAPTANS
-Have an -SH group
-Is polar and hydrophilic
- due to its electronegative Sulphur atom.
eg.Methyl mercaptan CH3-SH
Certain amino acids contain -SH groups
-which stabilize the shape of proteins
eg . Cysteine
3. Carbonyl R - C=O.
KETONES R - CO - RA. KETONES R - CO - R
-Contains a carbonyl group with in the carbon skeleton.
The carbonyl group is polar and hydrophilic
- due to its electronegative Oxygen atom.
eg. Acetone.
B. ALDEHYDE -CHO
-Have a carbonyl group at the end of the carbon skeleton.
eg. acetaldehyde
4. Carboxyl - COOH
CARBOXYLIC ACID -COOH
Carboxylic acids contain a carboxyl group at the end of the carbon skeleton.
All amino acids have a -COOH group at 1 end.
The negatively charged form predominates at the pH of body cells
- is hydrophilic.
eg. Acetic acid CH3COOH
5. ESTER -COO
-Predominate in dietary fats and oils
- Occur in our body in trigycerides
eg. Aspirin
-is an ester of Salicylic acid
- a pain relieving molecule
- found in the bark of the willow tree.
6. PHOSPHATE -PO4 2-
- Contain a phosphate group
- Is very hydrophilic due to dual negative charges
eg. ATP
7. Amino -NH2
-Amines have an -NH2 group.
- Can act as a base.
- Pick up a Hydrogen ion
- giving the amino group a positive charge .
At the pH of body fluids,
most amino groups have a charge of 1+.
All amino acids have an amino group at 1 end.
MACROMOLECULES
macro= large
- Small organic molecules can combine into very large molecules.
- Are usually polymers
eg. Carbohydrates
A. MONOMERS
B. POLYMERS
MONOMERS
mono= 1
- mers = parts
- small building block molecules.
POLYMERS
poly= many
A polymer is a large molecule formed by the covalent bonding of many identical or similar monomers.
The reaction that joins 2 monomers is normally a dehydration synthesis.
DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS REACTION
In this type of reaction,
- a hydrogen atom is removed from 1 monomer
- a hydroxylgroup is removed from other
- to form a molecule of water.
ISOMERS
iso= equal
Molecules that have same molecular formula
but different structure
eg.
Molecular formula for glucose and fructose are both C6H12O6
But structural formula differs giving different chemical properties
- because relative positions of oxygen and carbon atoms are different.
