Examples of Lipids
Waxes Esters of long-chain fatty acids with long-chain alcohols. Spermaceti is found in the head of the sperm whale and is probably used to control buoyancy. Most natural waxes are protective coats for plants'leaves,insects'exoskeletons, mammals'fur,and birds'feathers

Triglycerides Fatty acid esters of glycerol. ■Fats Solid at room temperature oMost are derived from mammals ■Oils Liquid at room temperature Most are derived from plants or cold-blooded animals
Triglycerides ◼Fatty acid esters of glycerol. ◼Fats ⚫Solid at room temperature ⚫Most are derived from mammals ◼Oils ⚫Liquid at room temperature ⚫Most are derived from plants or cold-blooded animals
Fatty Acids Unbranched carboxylic acids with 12-20 carbons. Most contain an even number of carbons because they are built from acetic acid units. Melting points increase with increasing molecular weights. Unsaturation greatly lowers the melting point

Fats and Oils Most fats have saturated fatty acids. Most oils have unsaturated fatty acids. CH一O CH2-O一( tristearin,mp 72C CH-0- CH2一O triolein,mp-4C
