Properties of LipidsProperties of LipidsThe Lipids are esters of long chain fatty acids and alcoholsThe Lipids are esters of long chain fatty acids and alcohols
(glycerol).(glycerol).
They are a large and diverse group of naturally occuring organicThey are a large and diverse group of naturally occuring organic
compounds that are compounds that are generally insoluble in water – they are hydrophobic generally insoluble in water – they are hydrophobic soluble in nonpolar solvents such as ether, chloroform, aceton soluble in nonpolar solvents such as ether, chloroform, aceton
etc.etc.
There is a great structural variety among the lipids.There is a great structural variety among the lipids.
diverse - různorodý diverse - různorodý

Functions of Lipids Functions of Lipids
1.1. store and source of energy for animals and peoplestore and source of energy for animals and people
2.2. solvent (for the lipid soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, K)solvent (for the lipid soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, K)
3.3. structural components of biological membranes structural components of biological membranes
4.4. protective function – they protect some organs in human protective function – they protect some organs in human body (kidneys)body (kidneys)
5.5. both lipids and lipid derivatives serve as vitamins and both lipids and lipid derivatives serve as vitamins and
hormoneshormones
store – rezerva, zásoba protective - ochrannýstore – rezerva, zásoba protective - ochranný
