Unsaturated fatty acids

Back 5

Occur in liquid state at room temperature. They are found mainly in plants.

Front 6

Unsaturated fats

Back 6

What type of fatty acids found to be healthier sources of fats compared to saturated forms.

Front 7

Phospholipids

Back 7

Are important components of cell membranes. They are made up of two fatty acid molecules and one phosphate group.

Front 8

Waxes

Back 8

Are lipids which are important components for many organisms, such as the cuticle covering the surface of leaves and stem of plants, and protective coverings on the skin and fur of some animals.

Front 9

Steroids

Back 9

Are lipids with a carbon skeleton of four fused rings.

Front 10

Triglycerides

Back 10

Known as blood fats circulate in the bloodstream along with cholesterol.

Front 11

Sphingolipids

Back 11

Are specifically found in the brain lungs and nerve tissues. They also serve as surfactants that help reduce tension on the lungs to maintain its right shape.
