Fats and Lipids
•
Lipids make up the most structurally
heterogeneous
class of macromolecules,
but all share the the property of being
wholly or partly
insoluble
in water
Fats are high energy, compact storage
molecules also known as
triacylglycerols or
triglycerides
. They are constructed by
joining a glycerol molecule to three
fatty
acids
.
