Question

Give the function of that class of lipid, identify whether the class of lipids is considered weakly or strongly amphiphilic and explain how that degree of amphipathicity is important to the function of that class of lipids.
Is there a way to calculate amphipathicity? galactose linked to the position for a cerebrosids, praw by hand and insert the figure here. (3 pts) insert labeled and fully hand-drawn figure here 2. For at least three different classes of lipids (choose from toiacxdgtycerols, glycerophospholipids, steroid hormones bile acids or gangliosides ) give the function of that class of lipid, identify whether the class of lipids is considered weakly or strongly amphiphilic and explain how that degree of amphiphilicity is important to the function of that class of lipids. Answer within the table shown below. These need to be full (extensive) explanations.

Explanation / Answer

Class Function weakly or strongly ampiphilic or amphipathic How is the degree of amphipathicity important? Triacylglycerol Metabolic fuel, fat storage non-amphiphilic Lipids that form bilayers are amphipathic.Triacylglycerol cannot form a bilayer since it lacks a polar head group. Therefore, they cannot be  triacylglycerols be significant components of lipid bilayers. Steroid hormones Helps control metabolism and sexual and salt-water balance in the body. amphiphilic Can be transported easily in the blood, binding to specific proteins. As they are fat soluble, they can pass through the cell membrane. Gangliosides Helps in cell to cell contact formation, cell recogisation. strongly amphiphilic They are major lipid components of the nerve cell membranes to which they are tightly bound as well as components of all plasma membranes of vertebrates.
