epidemic in America?

ANATOMY

Unit Two: Building Blocks of Life

What are we learning today? Our goal for today is to learn about the

structure and function of lipids Our goal for this YEAR is

80% mastery of material 3 point increase on our ACT

Lipids Sources

Commonly known as... FATS Butter Cheese Oils Peanut butter Nuts Fish Meat

Lipids Roles

Long-term energy storage Insulation and cushioning Cell Membranes Hormones Cholesterol

Lipids Structure

ALL LIPIDS ARE HYDROPHOBIC (they hate water!) This is why they don’t mix with water when you

go to wash your hands Three types

Regular lipids Phospholipids Steroids

What are lipids made of?

Regular lipids.. One glycerol group Three fatty acids

What are lipids made of?

Phospholipids One glycerol group 2 fatty acids + 1 phosphate

group Why is this important?

The outside of the cell is hydrophilic (likes water)

The inside of the cell is hydrophobic (dislikes water)

This makes for great MEMBRANES!

What are lipids made of?

Steroids 4 fused carbon rings

Examples Cholesterol Found in cell membranes Hormones Testosterone

Lipids Structure

Unsaturated: Double bonds between carbon, liquid at room temp Polyunsaturated (manydouble bond) Monounsaturated (only one double bond

Saturated: Single bonds between carbon, solid at room temp, least healthy!

Special Notes

Trans fats unsaturated fats that are HUMAN MADE

Your body doesn’t know how to deal with them!

They are BAD for you!!!

Major Food Sources of Trans Fat for American Adults

(Average Daily Trans Fat Intake is 5.8 Grams or 2.6 Percent of Calories)

Impact of the American diet

This study starts in 1985 – just before you were born
