Lipids
Lipids are
 Biomolecules that contain fatty acids or a steroid
nucleus.
 Soluble in organic solvents but not in water.
 Named for the Greek word lipos, which means “fat.”
 Extracted from cells using organic solvents.

3
Types of Lipids
The types of lipids containing fatty acids are
 Waxes.
 Fats and oils (triacylglycerols).
 Glycerophospholipids.
 Prostaglandins.
 Not steroids, as they do not contain fatty acids.

15.2 Fatty Acids

6
Fatty Acids
Fatty acids
 Are long-chain
carboxylic acids.
 Typically contain 12-18
carbon atoms.
 Are insoluble in water.
 Can be saturated or
unsaturated.

7
Fatty Acid Formulas
The formulas for fatty acids are written as
 Condensed formulas.
 Line-bond formulas.
 For example caprylic acid with 8 carbon atoms.
CH3—(CH2)6—COOH
CH3—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2—COOH
OH
O

8
Saturated fatty acids have
 Single C–C bonds.
 Molecules that fit closely together
in a regular pattern.
 Strong attractions between fatty
acid chains.
 High melting points that make
them solids at room temperature.
Saturated Fatty Acids

Some Saturated Fatty Acids

10
Unsaturated Fatty Acids
Unsaturated fatty acids
 Have one or more double C=C bond
 Typically contain cis double bonds.

11
Properties of Unsaturated Fatty
Acids
Unsaturated fatty acids
 Have “kinks” in the fatty
acid chains.
 Do not pack closely.
 Have few attractions
between chains.
 Have low melting points.
 Are liquids at room
temperature.

Comparing Melting Points of
Some Fatty Acids

14
Learning Check
Assign the melting points of –17°C, 13°C, and 69°C
to the correct fatty acid. Explain.
stearic acid (18 C) saturated
oleic acid (18 C) one double bond
linoleic acid (18 C) two double bonds

15
Solution
Stearic acid is saturated and would have a higher
melting point than the unsaturated fatty acids.
Because linoleic has two double bonds, it would have
a lower mp than oleic acid, which has one double
bond.
stearic acid mp 69°C saturated
oleic acid mp 13°C
linoleic acid mp -17°C most unsaturated

16
Prostaglandins
Prostaglandins have
 20 carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains.
 An OH on carbon 11 and 15.
 A trans double bond at carbon 13.
