- 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...

The Four Organic Compounds 1. Carbohydrates are the compound that provide energy to living cells. They are the main energy source because they activate instant cellular energy. The carbohydrates we use as food comes from photosynthesis of plants....

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...

Lipid Used for Energy Storage
All lipids share a common characteristic; they do not mix well with water. Fats are lipids that are mainly energy-storing molecules. Fats consist of glycerol linked to three fatty acids. The cooking oil above is an unsaturated fatty acid. Unsaturated means that one of its fatty acids has fewer hydrogen atoms on one of the carbons, causing a double bond (kink).
