CHAPTER 23 Biomolecules: Lipids and Their Metabolism
Biomolecules:Lipids and Their Metabolism Lipids are naturally occurring organic molecules isolated from organisms by extraction with nonpolar organic solvents Fats,oils,waxes,some vitamins and hormones,and most nonprotein cell-membrane components Lipids have limited solubility in water Lipids defined by their physical property (solubility)and not by their structure
Lipids are naturally occurring organic molecules isolated from organisms by extraction with nonpolar organic solvents ▪ Fats, oils, waxes, some vitamins and hormones, and most nonprotein cell-membrane components ▪ Lipids have limited solubility in water ▪ Lipids defined by their physical property (solubility) and not by their structure Biomolecules: Lipids and Their Metabolism
Biomolecules:Lipids and Their Metabolism Lipids classified into two broad types: 1.Those that contain ester linkages that can be hydrolyzed Include fats and waxes 2.Steroids which do not have ester linkages and cannot be hydrolyzed Includes cholesterol and other steroidal hormones 0 CH2O-C-R CH3 CHO-C-R HO CH20-&-R Animal fat-a triester Cholesterol (R,R',R"=C11-C19 chains) LmigA Rpt Rd

23-1 Waxes,Fats,and Oils Waxes are mixtures of esters of long-chain carboxylic acids with long-chain alcohols Carboxylic acid usually has an even number of carbons from 24 through 36 Beeswax is the ester of the C30 alcohol triacontan-1-ol and the C16 acid hexadecanoic acid CH3(CH2)14CO(CH2)2gCH3 Triacontyl hexadecanoate(from beeswax) Cengage Leaming.All Rights Reserved

Waxes,Fats,and Oils Animal fats and vegetable oils are the most widely occurring lipids Closely related structures Have different appearances Animal fats are solids like butter and lard Vegetable oils are liquids like corn and peanut oil

Waxes,Fats,and Oils Fats and oils are triglycerides,or triacylglycerols Triesters of glycerol with three long-chain carboxylic acids called fatty acids Fats are used by animals for long-term energy storage Less highly oxidized than carbohydrates Provide about six times as much energy as an equal weight of glycogen Fatty acyl Glycerol 0 Stearoyl (stearic acid) CH2OCCH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 0 Oleoyl (oleic acid) CHOCCH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH=CHCH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 Linoleoyl (linoleic acid) CH2OCCH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH-CHCH2CH-CHCH2CH2CH2CH2CH3 A triacylglycerol

Waxes,Fats,and Oils Hydrolysis of a fat or oil with aqueous NaOH yields glycerol and three fatty acids Fatty acids are generally unbranched and contain an even number of carbon atoms between 12 and 20 If double bonds are present they are generally Z,or cis -The three fatty acids of a specific triacylglycerol do not need to be the same A fat or oil is likely to be a complex mixture of many different triacyglycerols
