Study Set Content:
– esters composed of three fatty acids joined to glycerol (Trihydroxy Alcohol)
Triglycerides/ Triacylglycerols
triglycerides that semi-solid or solid at 15.5-16.5 Celsius (from animal sources)
Fats
triglycerides that are liquid at 15.5-16.5 Celsius (From plant sources)
Fixed oils
esters of long chain fatty acids with long chain monohydric alcohols (one OH group). The carboxylic acid and the alcohol typically each have an even number of carbons
Waxes
an important component of triglycerides (i.e fats and oils) and of phospholipids
Glycerol
most common steroid
Cholesterol
a three-carbon substance that forms the backbone of fatty acids in fats.
Glycerol
precursor of Vitamin D, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, aldosterone, cortisol, and bile salts.
