Chapter 25: Lipids
o Lipids are naturally occurring organic compounds that are not soluble in water, but soluble in non-polar solvents
Compounds containing fatty acids
o Waxes: (beewax, leaf and feather coatings etc.)
o Animal and plant triglycerides (oils and fats)
o Phospholipids: components of cell membranes

o Solid triglycerides [fats] have mostly saturated carbon chainso Liquid triglycerides [oils], higher content of unsaturated carbon chains

Problem 3. Draw a structure of an optically inactive fat that, when hydrolyzed, gives glycerol, one equivalent of lauric acid, and two equivalents of stearic acid.

o Sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids are soapso Soaps form micelles in water, which trap non-polar
