• The way in which all organisms store energy is fatty acid derivatives. They may be present as solid and liquid.
• The carboxylic acid derivatives with having a length of 4-36 C of fatty acids.
• Some fatty acids may be saturated and some may be unsaturated.
• The carbon number of the most known and used fatty acids can range from 12 to 24.
• Common points of unsaturated fatty acids in terms of double bonds; double bonds are located
between 9th and 10th carbons( 9 )
• Polyunsaturated fatty acids are formed starting from ( 12)
• ( 15) carbons.
• The polyunsaturations of the natural fatty acids indicate that they do not contain a consecutive single double bond.
• However, double bonds in natural fatty acids are in the form of cis bonds.
• Trans fatty acids are formed by fermentation in the calves of ruminant animals and are found in meat and milk of these animals.
• Polyunsaturated fatty acids are important for cardiovascular diseases.
• By esterification of fatty acids with glycerols, mono-, di- and triacylglycerols are formed.
• In the hydrolysis, lipases are involved.
• Biological membranes are in the structure of the double-layer lipid structure. The membrane lipids are amphipathic.
• The hydrophilic portion of these amphipathic compounds may be linked to the -OH group at the end of the sterol,
• Chemical formulas, diversity and biological importance of phospholipids and glycolipids, ether lipids, plasmogens will be discussed.
•BIOCHEMICAL FORMULES ABOUT THE CHEMISTRY OF LIPIDS WILL BE DISCUSSED
