| Steroids/Cholesterol | have a set of four fused carbon rings, insoluble in water. |
| Phospholipid Bilayer | a structure which protects the hydrophobic lipid tails away from water while allowing the hydrophobic phosphate end to interface with water |
| Phospholipids | Complex lipid molecule made of two lipid chains and a phosphate group attached to a glycerol molecule |
| triglyceride | A complex form of lipid that consists of three fatty acid molecules attached to a molecule of glycerol |
| Unsaturated fats | exist as oils(liquids) at room temperature, have carbon/carbon double bonds which decreases the numbers of hydrogen atoms and makes lipid chains have a bent shape. |
| Saturated fats | usually solid at room temperature due to having all of the hydrogen/carbon bonds possible in their lipids |
| Fats | major function is energy storage |
| Fatty Acids | lipids that have combined with a carboxylic acid group on one end of the lipid chain. |
| hydrophobic | molecules that will not interact with water |
| hydrophilic | molecules that are polar and will interact with water |
| lipids | long chains of carbon and hydrogen, insoluble in water |
| lipids are made of | repeating units of carbon and hydrogen |
| fatty acids are made of | a lipid chain and a carboxylic acid on the end |
| triglycerides are made of | three fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule |
| phospholipids are made of | a phosphate and two fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule |
