(a) Cholesterol is a lipid yet does not form membranes like the membrane lipids and is not used to store energy like the storage lipids. Explain. b) Glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids form membranes but triacylglycerols do not. Why? (c) Triacylglycerols are used for long term energy storage but glycogen and starch are used for short term energy storage. Explain
Sphingolipids differ from phosphoglycerides because?A. sphingolipids never have the phosphodiester linkage found in phosphoglycerides.B. sphingolipids utilize sphingosine to replace the glycerol backbone and one of the two fatty acyl tail found in phosphoglycerides.C. sphingolipids are the only lipids in lipids rafts.D. sphingolipids never contain sugar groups.
Which of the following statements is incorrect? The rigidity of a saturated fatty acid is based on the strong bonding between sp3-hybridized carbon chains. Glycerophospholipids are the most abundant lipids in cellular membranes. In delta notation of fatty acid nomenclature, the numbering starts at the α-carbon from the carboxylic acid end. Hormones, such as testosterone, estradiol and progesterone are examples of steroidal lipids.
