The triesters of fatty acids with glycerol (1,2,3-trihydroxypropane) compose the class of lipids known as fats and oils. These triglycerides (or triacylglycerols) are found in both plants and animals, and compose one of the major food groups of our diet.
Lipids Lipids are a variety of organic molecules grouped together on the basis of their solubility in nonpolar solvents. Their varied biological functions include energy source, energy storage, cell membrane structural components, hormones, vitamins, vitamin adsorption, protection, and insulation. The spectrum of lipid functions can be condensed into the three broad areas of: 1. Storage of energy 2. Structure of cell membranes 3. Signal of chemical biological activities. The four main groups of lipids include: 1. Fatty acids (saturated and unsaturated) 2. Glycerides (glycerol-containing lipids) 3. Nonglyceride lipids (sphingolipids, steroids, waxes) 4.
