This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 10. Properties of Lipids, Unsaturated generally Non-Conjugated, Fatty Acids properties Shorter lengths have lower MP, Glycerophospholipids thus backbone has Beta carbon, Triglycerides which are are Primary type ingested, OVERVIEW LIPID METABOLISM functions Energy, Fatty Acids have Methyl end, Alcohol backbone like Glycerol, Fatty Acids have Carboxyl end, Phosphate on 3rd carbon of glycerol Simplest case Phosphatidic acid, Esters like Monoglycerides, OVERVIEW LIPID METABOLISM functions Messengers/ Hormones, Fatty Acids properties Addition of double bonds lowers MP, Head groups called Glycerophospholipids, Non-Conjugated ie. Methylene carbon between two double bonds, Primary type ingested degraded by Pancreatic Enzymes, Choline called 3-Phosphphatidyl choline, OVERVIEW LIPID METABOLISM Central player Acetyl- CoA, Phospholipases which cleave Glycerophospholipids, Unsaturated have Addition of double bonds lowers MP, Apha carbon can be Ether group
