Chapter 10 Lipids
1. Lipids encompass a large and diverse group of organic compounds II Lipids are broadly defined as biological molecules that are soluble in organic solvents 1.1.1 Lipids are usually extracted from biological materials by nonpolar solvents like ether, chloroform(氯仿), benzene(苯) 1.2 The biological functions of lipids are diverse。 1. 2. 1 Certain lipids(e.g, triacylglycerols (三脂酰甘油), commonly called fats) serve as efficient reserves for the storage of energy

1.2.2 Lipids(including mainly g! ycerophospholipids甘油裤脂)2 sphingolipid and sterols ) are the major structural elements or s, the biomembranes 1.2.3 The water-insoluble vitamins like vitamin A, D, e, k and some hormones (like steroids(类醇), prostaglandins(前列腺素)) are lipids 1. 2. 4 The bile acids help to solubilize(emulsify other classes of lipids for better digestion. 1. 2. 5 Lipids also serve as enzyme cofactors light-absorbing pigments, intracellular messengers

2. Fatty acids are a class of compounds containing a long hydrocarbon chain and a terminal carboxylate group 2. 1 Fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated. 2.1.1 Saturated fatty acids do not contain carbon-carbon double bonds 2.1. The two most common saturated fatt acids are palmitic and stearic acids (软脂酸和硬 脂酸) containing 16 and 18 carbons respectively (abbreviated as 16: 0 and 18: 0). 2.1.3 Unsaturated fatty acids contain one or more carbon-carbon double bonds, usually of cis configuration in the aliphatic 脂肪族的 chains
