    Another word for "fats." Lipids can be more formally defined as substances such as a fat‚ oil or wax that dissolves in alcohol but not in water. Lipids contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen but have far less oxygen proportionally than carbohydrates. They are found in places as diverse as egg yolks and the human nervous system and are important component of plant‚ animal and microbial membranes A fatty or waxy are organic compound that is readily soluble in nonpolar solvent (e.g. ether)

    Mitochondria - Take in glucose via proteins that pass the plasma membrane and after it journey through the cytoskeleton to the mitochondria inside the cytoplasm. Endoplasmic Reticulum - Both ER types are covered in making essential cellular segments. For the most part in charge of the combination and handling of proteins that are either emitted from the cell or that end up stuck in the plasma film. The lipids made in the SER are joined with phosphorous to make phospholipids‚ the most inexhaustible

    Fats‚ waxes‚ monoglycerides‚ and triglycerides are all types of lipids. Triglycerides are a main form of energy for both plants and animals. Triglycerides are broken down into 3 fatty acid chains. Each fatty acid chain is further broken down into multiple groups of Acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA molecules go through the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. 12 ATP are formed from each Acetyl CoA molecule. Carbon chains that are saturated with hydrogen atoms Chains are straight and

    Lipids‚ which are also known as fats play a very important part in our bodies‚ it provides energy to producing hormones. As humans we wouldn’t be able to digest and absorb food without lipids. Eating more fat than we need can lead to weight gain but with proper amounts of lipids they are a healthy part of our diet. The main role of lipids in our body is to provide energy for muscles and body processes. Half of the fuel our body needs when at rest or with everyday activity comes from lipids. Lipids
