Lipids.
  • Fatty acids.-
    • , a saturated 16 carbon fatty acid. Notice its , and its .
    • , a monounsaturated 18 carbon fatty acid. Most monounsaturated natural fatty acids are .
    • , a polyunsaturated 18 carbon fatty acid. This fatty acid has with cis configuration.
    • , another polyunsaturated 18 carbon fatty acid with
  • Saponifiable lipids.-
    • .- Zoom on .
    • Waxes.- for instance .
    • .- lipids composed of , , and a polar compound like .
    • Sphingolipids.- all of them include in their structure the amino alcohol . Sphingosine bind to a fatty acid to yield , the common structural feature of all sphingolipids.
  • Unsaponifiable lipids.-
    • Terpenes.- they are polymers of the 5 carbon unsaturated hydrocarbon named (2-methyl-1,3 butadiene). Some terpenes are , , , , and .
    • Steroids.- Some steroids are , and . is also a steroid.
    • Eicosanoids.- They are derived from unsaturated 20 carbon fatty acid named . are a class of eicosanoids.
