This post is especially to those who are in biochem intro..and that means YOU....

Today we had learn about

LIPID

Well, first off, it's a macromolecule consisting of element Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen.
Lipid is non-polar therefore it is insoluble in water...which also means they are hydrophobic..

As for the importance, it is of course act as dietary constituents and compared to carbohydrates, lipid has a 'long-term' energy due to its structure...

ok...so lipids are divided into two...simple and complex...

Simple lipids...they are basically esters of alcohol with fatty acids...consisting of two functional group - still remember not? - i.e. carboxyl and hydroxyl...
can be further classified into triaglycerols (commonly known as triglycerides - u can use both...same thing) and waxes.

Complex lipid....divided into three...phospholipid (familiar? very important this one)....glycolipids.....and lipoprotein.
Then, we're going to talk about what Pn Mimi loved most....

STRUCTURES AND FUNCTION

unfortunately though....
it was raining outside...
and already 5.30....
so I was not in my fullest most attentive self....
plus this part need to have illustration....
so i guess I stop here...I'll photocopy the rest....if I'm rajin la...
