  • Lipids main function is to act as a structural component of cell membranes. Specialized lipids called phospholipids make up the cell walls, serving as a barrier between the inside and outside of the cells. 
  • Another function of lipids is storing energy. Each gram of lipids can store 9 calories of energy. Lipids are a very compact way to store energy.

Our bodies use cholesterol to make the hormones testosterone (male hormones) and estrogen (female hormones). Chlorophyll can be used by plants to absorb light for photosynthesis.]]> 2017-12-02 03:17:05 UTC https://padlet.com/erika_bahler1/1lipids/wish/212474614 Waxes emily_guerrero3 https://padlet.com/erika_bahler1/1lipids/wish/212474653 Waxes are widely distributed in nature. The leaves and fruits of many plants have waxy coatings, which may protect them from dehydration and small predators. The feathers of birds and the fur of some animals have similar coatings which serve as a water repellent. ]]> 2017-12-02 03:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/erika_bahler1/1lipids/wish/212474653 Fats muntaha_khan https://padlet.com/erika_bahler1/1lipids/wish/212655626 Fat is one of the three main macronutrients, along with carbohydrate and protein. Fats, also known as triglycerides, are esters of three fatty acid chains and the alcohol glycerol.

They can form lipid bilayers because of their amphiphilic characteristic. The structure of the phospholipid molecule generally consists of two hydrophobic fatty acid "tails" and a hydrophilic "head" consisting of a phosphate group.
