LIPIDS
� Lipids may be broadly defined as hydrophobic or amphiphilic
small molecules; the amphiphilic nature of some lipids allows
them to form structures such as vesicles, liposome's, or
membranes in an aqueous environment.
� Lipids are a chemically diverse group that share the samecharacteristic of being sparingly soluble in water and highly
soluble in non-polar organic solvents like acetone.
� The group has two major roles; in structure, particularly in the
membranous organelles and in energy storage as lipids
have a higher calorific value than carbohydrates.

Waxes(mixtures of ester)
Waxes are esters of fatty acids combined with long chain alcohols. Waxes are mainly
used as a waterproofing material by plants and animals, e.g. on leaves of plants and
on the feathers of animals.
Wax-means the material of the honeycomb. A number of waxes are produced commercially
in large amounts for use in cosmetics, lubricants, polishes, surface coatings, inks and many other
applications
These are esters of long chain saturated & unsturated fatty acid with long chainmonohydroxyalcohols.
Vertebrates waxes secreted by coetaneous glands (protective coating) to keep the
skin pliable, lubricated, waterproof.
Waterfowl birds-secrete waxes in their preen glands to make their feathers water ±
repellent.
Rhododendron-plant leaves are shiny because of the deposition of protective waxycoating.
Marine organisms (planktons) waxes act as a major food and storage lipids in them.

GlyceroPhospholipids
Phospholipids derived from glycerol.(e.g) choline,ethanolamine, or serine,
plasmolegens. Phosphoglycerides are derivatives of Phosphatidic acid.
Structure is similar to lecithin,cephalin but have one of the fattyacid is
replaced by an unsaturated ether.

Found in membrane contain 2-fattyacid molecules.
All phosphoglycerides have negative charge (PH-7)
Lecithin's: present in soybeans oil,nervous tissues and alsorequired for the normal transport and utilization of as other lipids.
Absence accumulation of lipids occurs in liver -giving rise to a
condition called ³fatty liver´.T
hey leads to fibrotic changes, cirrhosis.
II). Sphingo phospholipids: Sphingolipids are a class of lipids derived from the aliphatic amino
alcohol sphingosine.
These compounds play important roles in signal transmission andcell recognition

2.Glycolipids Lipids containing fattyacid, sphingosine alcohol,&CHO residue with nitrogenbase. sugar contain sphingolipids are called glyco sphingolipids-two main
groups:
neutral glycosphingolipids & acidic glycosphingolipids
They may contain one or more glycosyl moieties, hexose's but
eventually plus an additional hexosamine. According to the number of glycosyl units they are divided into:
- Monoglycosylceramides (one glycosyl unit)
- Oligoglycosylceramides (more than one glycosyl unit)
Deacylated glycosphingolipids (only one glycosylated sphingoid base)

Acidic glycosphingolipids sulf osphingolipides
phosphosphingolipids
phosphonoglycosphingolipids
gangliosides
Cerebrosides: Important components in animal muscle and nerve cell membranes
They consist of a ceramide with a single sugar residue at the 1-
hydroxyl moiety.
The sugar residue can be either glucose or galactose; the two
major types are therefore called glucocerebrosides andgalactocerebrosides.
Galactocerebrosides are typically found in neural tissue,
while glucocerebrosides are found in other tissues

Structure and Function of cerebrosides The fundamental structure of a cerebroside is ceramide
Sphingosine is the main long-chain base present in ceramide
Monoglycosyl and oligoglycosylceramides having a mono or
polysaccharide bonded glycosidically to the terminal OH group of ceramide is defined as a cerebroside.

Heam & cholorophyll
(photoreceptor )
Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to synthesize
carbohydrates from CO2 and water.
This process is known as photosynthesis and is the basis for sustaining the life
processes of all plants.
Since animals and humans obtain their food supply by eating plants, photosynthesis
can be said to be the source of our life also.
Chlorophyll is the molecule that traps this 'most elusive of all powers' - and is called a
photoreceptor
The basic structure of a chlorophyll molecule is a porphyrin ring, co-ordinated to a
central atom. This is very similar in structure to the heme group found in hemoglobin, except that in
heme the central atom is iron, whereas in chlorophyll it is magnesium

Tail-20-Carbon-stabilizes the molecule in
the hydrophobic core of the thylakoid
membrane
CH3 group is present in chl ±a &
absorbs best at 450 and 680 nm
chl b absorbs best at 500 and 640
nm.

While chlorophyll a is directly involved in the redox reactions of the light reactions,
chl b functions as an accessory pigment,
Accessory pigments absorb light and pass the energy from the light to the chl a inthe reaction center.
Other accessory pigments can be present such as xanthophylls and the more well known carotenoids.
The most well known carotenoid is beta-carotene which absorbs diff erent wavelengths than the chlorophylls
Chlorophyll is one of the most important chelates in nature.
It is capable of channelling the energy of sunlight into chemical energy through theprocess of photosynthesis.
In photosynthesis, the energy absorbed by chlorophyll transforms carbon dioxide and
water into carbohydrates and oxygen. CO2 + H2O (CH2O) + O2
chlorophyll is at the center of the photosynthetic oxidation-reduction reaction
between carbon dioxide and water.

Cholesterol
is a waxy steroid metabolite found in the cell
membranes and transported in the blood
plasma of all animals
cholesterol is an important component for
the manufacture of bile acids, steroid
hormones, and several fat-soluble vitamins
cholesterol is essential for all animal
life, it is primarily synthesized from
simpler substances within the body
For a person of about 68 kg typical
total body cholesterol synthesis isabout 1 g (1,000 mg) per day, and
total body content is about 35 g.
The plasma membrane of cells is
made of a combination of
glycosphingolipids and protein
receptors organized in glycolipoproteinmicrodomains termed lipid rafts
Within the cell membrane, cholesterol also
functions in intracellular transport, cell
signaling and nerve conduction

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like material that is found in all parts of the body. It comes
from two sources: 1.our liver produces it, 2.we consume it in meat and dairy products.
After a meal, dietary cholesterol is absorbed from the intestine and stored in the liver
.About 20±25% of total daily cholesterol production occurs in the liver ; other sites of high
synthesis rates include the intestines, adrenal glands, and reproductive organs
acetyl CoA +acetoacetyl-CoA, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG-CoA
This molecule is then reduced to mevalonate by the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase.

Heart disease begins when cholesterol, fatty material, and calcium build up in
the arteries, a process known as atherosclerosis.

Blockage of the coronary arteries by plaque may cause a heart attack
(myocardial infarction) or a fatal rhythm disturbance
(sudden cardiac arrest).
