Biological Molecules
Biological molecules consist primarily of-carbon bonded to carbon, or-carbon bonded to other molecules.
Carbon can form up to 4 covalent bonds.
Carbon may be bonded to functional groups with specific properties.

Lipids
Lipids are a group of molecules that are insoluble in water.
A high proportion of nonpolar C – H bonds causes the molecule to be hydrophobic.
Two main categories:
-fats (triglycerides)
-phospholipids
![Page 42: The Chemical Building Blocks of Life Chapter 3. 2 Biological Molecules Biological molecules consist primarily of -carbon bonded to carbon, or -carbon](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d0a5503460f949dc6a0/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Lipids
Triglycerides (fats)-composed of 1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids
Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains which may be-saturated -unsaturated -polyunsaturated

Lipids
Triglycerides
-an excellent molecule for energy storage
-store twice as much energy as carbohydrates
-animal fats are usually saturated fats and are solid at room temperature

Lipids
Phospholipids spontaneously form micelles or lipid bilayers.
These structures cluster the hydrophobic regions of the phospholipid toward the inside and leave the hydrophilic regions exposed to the water environment.
Lipid bilayers are the basis of biological membranes.
