- Q: Explain How The Structure And Properties Of Triglycerides And Phospholipids Are Related To Their Functions In Living Organisms.
Triglycerides are a good source of energy as they have a high ratio of energy storing carbon-hydrogen bonds to carbon atoms. They are also an important source of metabolic water as the triglyceride molecules yield metabolic water on oxidation. This is...
- #93 Respiratory Substrates, Respiratory Quotions
A respiratory substrate is a molecule from which energy can be liberated to produce ATP in a living cell. Glucose is not the only respiratory substrate. All carbohydrates, lipids and proteins can also be used as respiratory substrates. Many cells in...
- #11. Lipids - Triglycerides And Phospholipids.
Lipids: - Include triglycerides + phospholipids. - Molecules contain C, H, O atoms - Very small proportion of O. - Insoluble in water. 1.Triglycerides - Made of glycerol 'backbone', attached to 3 fatty acids by ester bonds. Fatty...

Comparison between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids
Saturated fatty acids | Unsaturated fatty acids |
1. They do not possess any double bond in their carbon chains | They possess one or more double bonds in their carbon chains |
2. They are straight chains | They have bend or kink at the double bond |
3. They have higher melting point than the unsaturated fatty acids | Lower melting point |
4. They are solid at ordinary temperature | They are liquid at ordinary temperature |
5. They occur in most animal fats | They occur in most plant fats |
6. Hydrogenation has no effect on saturated fatty acids | Hydrogenation convert unsaturated fatty acids into saturated ones |
