Essential Principles of Cell Biology and Biochemistry
Biological Molecules: Lipids and Their Functions
Lipids are organic molecules that are insoluble in water, with an oily, waxy, or fatty consistency. Their functions are to store energy, to participate in muscle contraction, to act as insulators, and to make up part of the cell membranes. There are three kinds of lipids:
- Fatty acids and waxes: These are only made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
- Phospholipids: These also contain phosphorus and nitrogen. They are made up of a polar head with a phosphate
