Question
Choose any/all that apply to lipids.
Farnesyl and palmitoyl can act as anchors for proteins that function at the cell membrane.
Steroids like cholesterol that function as membrane lipids have a rather unique structure
when compared to the circulating steroid hormones such as testosterone.
Phosphoglycerides contain a phosphorylated alcohol that is buried deep within the
hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane.
Fatty acids are stored as glycolipids in adipose tissue.
A fatty acid that has 16 carbons and two cis double-bonds would have a higher melting point
than a fatty acid that has 16 carbons and three cis double-bonds.
Omega-3 fatty acids such as X-linolenate are precursors to important hormones and are
constantly being synthesized in the pancreas.
