Lipids Biochemistry November 13‚ 2013 Lipids Lipids are families of biomolecules including fats and oils‚ waxes‚ steroids ‚ cholesterol and fat soluble vitamins. All lipids are naturally occurring compounds varying greatly in structure but share the common feature of being soluble in non polar solvents such as chloroform and ether but not in water. Lipids consist mainly of carbon and hydrogen atoms linked by non polar covalent

Another word for "fats." Lipids can be more formally defined as substances such as a fat‚ oil or wax that dissolves in alcohol but not in water. Lipids contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen but have far less oxygen proportionally than carbohydrates. They are found in places as diverse as egg yolks and the human nervous system and are important component of plant‚ animal and microbial membranes A fatty or waxy are organic compound that is readily soluble in nonpolar solvent (e.g. ether)

Explain The Physiology Of Two Named Body Systems In Relation To Energy Metabolism In The Body I am going to explain the physiology of the respiratory and cardiovascular system in relation to the energy metabolism in the body. Energy metabolism is where the nutrients oxygen and glucose are took in and delivered the organs. Energy is needed in order for our body to be able to function. Energy helps break down molecules and to build new molecules. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚

Analysis of Lipid through Two-Dimensional Thin Layer Chromatography Myca Pua‚ Ramon Ramos‚ Amanda Redilas‚ Kimleigh Reyes‚ Nathaniel Sim and Clara Tamondong Group 9 2F Medical Technology Biochemistry Laboratory ABSTRACT Lipids constitute a group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats‚ waxes‚ sterols‚ fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A‚ D‚ E‚ and K‚ monoglycerides‚ diglycerides‚ triglycerides‚ phospholipids‚ and others. In this experiment lipid was extracted from the egg yolk

Lipids‚ which are also known as fats play a very important part in our bodies‚ it provides energy to producing hormones. As humans we wouldn’t be able to digest and absorb food without lipids. Eating more fat than we need can lead to weight gain but with proper amounts of lipids they are a healthy part of our diet. The main role of lipids in our body is to provide energy for muscles and body processes. Half of the fuel our body needs when at rest or with everyday activity comes from lipids. Lipids

In this experiment‚ we will learn about biological important molecules by performing tests to detect the presence of carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ and nucleic acids. Also‚ we will use biochemical tests to identify the unknown compound that react in the following biochemical tests: Benedict’s test‚ Iodine test‚ Sudan IV test‚ Biuret’s Test and the Grease-Spot test‚ also explain the importance

of temperature on the activity of lipase Aim: To investigate the effects of temperature on the activity of lipase enzyme on milk which contain fats or lipids. Introduction: Enzyme is a kind of biological catalyst that made up of protein. It can speed up the metabolic reactions on various kinds of substances. Like lipase can break down lipid into glycerol or fatty acids in milk. Since enzyme is made up of protein which easily affected by varies temperature. This experiment is carried out to find
