For this question, we can start by reviewing the different structures and functions of different lipids in the body.
00:07
One of the most common ways you'll see your lipids written and referred to is going to be in this sort of e -shaped form.
00:17
So this is going to consist of your glycerol backbone and your three fatty acid chains.
00:33
And this would make up the molecule we know as a triglyceride, which all abbreviate as tgi.
00:40
So your triglycerides are stored inside the body as stores of fat, which can, of course, be converted later on into energy.
00:52
A second most common way you'll see your lipids is in this sort of molecule here.
01:00
This is called a phospholipid, and you may know this is a big component of the phospholipid bilayer, or the cell membrane.
01:17
So you have your phosphate head, and of course, you have your fatty acid tails...
