1. Notes: Lipids
2. A "phat" lab on fats!

H.W. DUE MONDAY: Finish A "phat" lab on fats!  The links for the nutrition labels and article are below:
Nutrition labels (the Benecol nutrition label is fyi only)
Fats- Fitting Them Into A Healthy Diet Article (read this to answer question #8a-k)

DUE TUESDAY (but highly recommended that you start this weekend)
The Lipid portion of your macromolecule info sheet (card stock):

•List the elements (as identified in the periodic table) that are found in all lipids.

•Write the word “Fats”

–Under this heading hand draw a molecular picture of a fat molecule (p. 47).  Label the Glycerol and the 3 Fatty Acid Tails.  Under your drawing write the function of fat molecules.

–Hand draw a saturated fatty acid tail.  Under the saturated fatty acid tail draw (or print) in color a picture of a food item that contains saturated fats.

–Hand draw an unsaturated fatty acid tail.  Under the unsaturated fatty acid tail draw (or print) in color a picture of a food item that contains unsaturated fats.

•Write the word “Phospholipids”

–Under your Phospholipids heading, hand draw a picture of a phospholipid (p. 204).  Label the phosphate head and the fatty acid tails.  Under your drawing write the function of phospholipids in your body.

•Write the word “Sterols”

–Under your Sterol heading, hand draw a molecular picture of a sterol (the 4 ringed fused structure from your notes.  Under your drawing write the  functions of  sterols in your body and give 2 examples. 

Congratulations!  That concludes the lipid section of you macromolecule info sheet.
