Types of Lipids - Compound Lipids and Derived Lipids
Compound Lipids: These are formed when the simple lipids combine with another compound. These are of following types:
Phospholipids: These contain:
- A platform molecule (glycerol or sphingosine)
- One or more fatty acids
- A phosphate group
- An alcohol component
- The fatty acids give the hydrophobic property while the phosphate and alcohol group give hydrophilic property.
Hence, phospholipids are amphipathic.
