1. Lipids Elements Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen Look familiar?
Is this an organic compound?

2. fatty acids monomers of lipids
When 3 fatty acids are attached to a glycerol = triglyceride

3. Lipids 3 varieties of lipids are Fats- solid at Room Temp-butter
Oils- liquid at Room Temp – peanut oil
Waxes - coating on leaves, honey combs
The polymer name is for lipids is lipids

4. Waxes in plants
Used for coating on leaves to decrease water loss

5. Plant oils Stored for future energy in nuts, seeds for growth
We use in cooking
We use for fossil fuel alternatives

6. Monomers
That’s a
lot of
energy
stored
as carbon
hydrogen
& oxygen!

7. Lipids are stored in animals in the form of fat
Used for energy
Warmth(insulate)
Cushions
Cell membranes
Insulates nerves
Absorbs vitamins
hormones

8. In saturated fat each C atom is joined to another C atom by a single bond. The fatty acid has the maximum # of H atoms
Found in red meats, butter, ice cream, cheese
Leads to clogged arteries

9. Unsaturated fats not all carbon bond sites filled There is at least 1 carbon to carbon double bond.
Found in plant products
A healthy kind of lipid

10. Foods high in lipids Butter, meat Olive oil, corn oil Veggies Nuts
Your body cannot make all of the fatty acids it needs so you need to EAT them(found in plant oils)

Plants use photosynthesis to make monomers of carbohydrates known as sugar, or monosaccharides.
When other elements from the soil (nitrogen, phosphates, and sulfur are added plants can make all the organic
macromolecules we have been studying.
These macromolecules are then passed through the food chain. Polymers are digested into monomers to make
polymers for the organism that ate the food.

12. Lipids can be tested for using a brown paper bag.

14. You can influence the condition of your blood vessels with a healthy diet and exercise.

15. The choice is yours
IMPROVE vs IGNORE
