Question
Answer
What is the structural function of lipids?   cellular membranes  
🗑
What are some structural lipids?   diacyglycerols, sphingolipids, sterols  
🗑
What is the storage function of lipids?   energy storage  
🗑
What are some storate lipids?   triacylglcerols: fats, oils  
🗑
What is the polar nature of structural lipids?   amphipathic  
🗑
What is the polar nature of storage lipids?   non-polar  
🗑
What's the difference between saurated fats and unsaturated fats?   saturated fats have just hydrogens and single bonds between the carbons, while unsaturated fatty acids will have double bonds  
🗑
How do you determine the structure of a fatty acid?   A fatty acid will have a carboxylic acid on one end and be a straight chain of carbon with no branching  
🗑
How do you tell structurally that something is an omega 3 or omega 6?   It is a long-chain fatty acid and the double bond will be on the 3rd carbon for the omega 3 and 6th carbon for omega 6  
🗑
What is the function of omega fatty acids?   signaling molecules involved in inflammatory and immune response  
🗑
What is the structure of a glycerolipid?   glycerol (3 carbon sugar alcohol) with 1,2,or 3 fatty acid chains  
🗑
What is the structure of a sphingolipid?   serine (remember it's an amino acid) with 1 or 2 fatty acid chans  
🗑
What is the structure of an isoprenoid?   sterol and long chain isoprenoid  
🗑
How do you tell it's an iosprenoid lipid?   it will have branching off of the carbon cahin and many double bonds  
🗑
What is the difference between sterol and steroid?   sterol will have a hydroxyl group on the steroid  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
