    Introduction To Lipids

    Uploaded by

    Mohammed Abdul
    Lipids are complex molecules that are not made of repeating monomer units. Triglycerides are the most common type of lipid, consisting of a glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acid molecules through ester bonds. These ester bonds can be broken through hydrolysis, releasing the fatty acids and glycerol. Triglycerides can be saturated, containing only single bonds between carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains, or unsaturated, containing one or more double bonds. Saturated triglycerides are typically solid at room temperature while unsaturated ones are liquid. Triglycerides serve important roles in the body as an efficient form of energy storage and providing insulation and cushioning to protect internal organs.
