Question 5
Describe various forms of lipid with a few examples.
Answer
Lipids are classified into three categories:
- Simple lipids: The esters of fatty acids with various alcohols are called simple lipids. They are of two types: Neutral or True fats (these are the esters of fatty acids with glycerol) and Waxes (esters of fatty acids with alcohol other than glycerol).
- Compound lipids: Compound or conjugated lipids are the fatty acids and alcohol but contains other substances like additional group. Example: Phospholipids, glycolipids, lipoproteins and cutin and suberin.
- Derived lipids: When lipids consist of hydrocarbon ring and long chain of hydrocarbons, they are called derivatives or derived lipids. Example: Steroids, terpenes and prostaglandins.
