Lipids/ A Diverse Group of Hydrophobic Molecules 26) Lipids include storage fats, waxes, oils, phospholipids, and steroids. What characteristic do all lipids share: 27) What is the monomer for a fat: 28) Draw and label the parts of a basic fat molecule: 29) Is the below triglyceride a saturated or unsaturated fat: 30) Draw a fatty acid chain that is 8 carbons long and is unsaturated. Circle the element in your chain that makes it unsaturated, and explain what this means. 31) Why are many unsaturated fats liquid at room temperature:

All lipids are $a. $triglycerides. $b. $polar. $c .$ hydrophilic. $d .$ polymers of fatty acids. $e .$ more soluble in nonpolar solvents than in water.
Lipids are fats and oils and are characterized by being extremely hydrophobic True False A protein is a polymer of nucleic acids. True False
