Chapter 17, Problem 17.17QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The four main groups of lipids have to be listed.

Concept Introduction:

Lipids are diverse in form and are defined by solubility in non-polar solvents and insolubility in water.

Some lipids contain non lipid groups like phosphoryl, amino, sulfate.

They are carried in the body by lipoproteins, subdivided into four main groups based on their chemical structure.

  1. Fatty acid, 2. Cholestrol, 3. Triglycerides, 4. Phospholipids.

Lipid Metabolism: It is defined as breakdown of carbohydrates and synthesized into fats.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Classification of lipids:

Four main groups listed below,

  • Fatty acids:  saturated, unsaturated.
  • Glycerides: Glycerol containing lipids.
  • Non-glyceride lipids: Sphingolipids, Steroids, Waxes
  • Complex lipids: lipoproteins.
