Which has weaker interactions, saturated or unsaturated? unsaturated fatty acids, a cis double bond forces a kink in the hydrocarbon chain. Fatty acids with one or several such kinks cannot pack together as tightly as fully saturated fatty acids, and their interactions with each other are therefore weaker.
What is the simplest lipids constructed from fatty acids? Triglycerides
What are triglycerides composed of and what are they? 3 fatty acid each in an ester linkage with a single glycerol molecule -nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules, essentially insoluble in water
What are the two significant advantages to using triacylglycerols as stored fuels, rather than polysaccharides 1. First, the carbon atoms of fatty acids are more reduced than those of sugars, so oxidation of triacylglycerols yields more than twice as much energy per gram than carbohydrates 9 kcal/gram versus 4 kcal/gram, respectively. 2. triacylglycerols are hydrophobic and therefore unhydrated, the organism that carries fat as fuel does not have to carry the extra weight of water of hydration that is associated with stored polysaccharides
What is an example of a triglyceride that is only saturated fats? Tristearin, white and greasy solid at room temp
Why do lipids go rancid? oxidative cleavage of double bonds in fatty acids producing aldehydes and carboxylic acids of shorter chain length and higher volatility
How do they increase the shelf life of oils? Converting the cis double bonds to single bonds ALSO partial hydrogenation has another effect: some cis double bonds are converted to trans double bonds form trans fats
What happens when you consume trans fats? raise the level of triacylglycerols and of LDL ("bad") cholesterol in the blood, and lower the level of HDL ("good") cholesterol

Do triglycerides or waxes have a higher melting temp? Waxes
How to birds keep their feathers water resistant? They release waxes from their preen gland

What are the three classes of eicosanoids prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes
What is the function of NSAIDs? To block the formation of prostaglandins and thromboxanes from arachidonate by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase required for their synthesis
What are the functions of prostaglandin -Some stimulate contraction of the smooth muscle of the uterus during menstruation and labor -Blood flow -sleep-wake cycle -responsiveness of certain tissues to hormones such as epinephrine and glucagon -elevate body temperature (producing fever) and cause inflammation and pain
What are Thromboxanes? -6 membered ring -they are produced by platlets and act in the formation of blood clots
Leukotrienes first found in leukocytes, contain three conjugated double bonds. They are powerful biological signals. For example, leukotriene D4, derived from leukotriene A1, induces contraction of the smooth muscle lining the airways to the lung. • Overproduction of leukotrienes causes asthmatic attacks, and leukotriene synthesis is one target of antiasthmatic drugs such as prednisone
isoprenoid pathway (also called mevalonate pathway, or HMG-CoA reductase pathway) roduces two five-carbon building blocks called isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP), used to make isoprenoids: diverse biomolecules such as cholesterol, heme, vitamin K, ubiquinone, and all steroid hormones.

dolichols form hydrophobic interactions with membrane lipids, anchoring the attached sugars to membrane, where they participate in sugar-transfer reactions
Conjugated dienes have alternating double bonds, this structural arrangement allows the delocalization of electrons, the compounds can be excited by low-energy electromagnetic radiation (visible light), giving them colors visible to humans and other animals
