Is Carbon special to life in this universe???
carbon forms double bonds, providing for diversity of structure and chemical
reactivity.
silicone (carbon's closest rival) does not form double bonds except at very
high temperatures.

Other amphipathic molecules: phospholipids, detergents.
Phospholipids play a vital role in the self-assembly of membranes.

Activity: "effective" free

Think of it as a department store: You can
move faster and get more done when it is not
crowded. The more people the slower the
service.
Molecules interfere with each other more at
high concentrations, making the equations less
accurate. The "activity coefficient" tries to

BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES
Lipids (fats, phospholipids, sterols)
Characterized by:
1. Solubility in organic solvents (chloroform ether, benzene) (variable solubilities).
2. Insoluble in water (most of them).
Principal classes:
1. triglycerides (fats and oils)
glycerol + 3 fatty acids) (pg 52)
HO or O; oxygen is divalent

Fats with unsaturated fatty acid chains have low melting points
(olive
Fats with saturated fatty acid chains form solids at room temperature
(margarine)
(example: hydrogenation converts vegetable oil into shortening)
triglycerides accumulate in fat vacuoles in adipose tissue cells.
Significance: Can be stored in high concentrations without water !!!
2. PHOSPHOLIPIDS : phosphate group and two fatty acid chains.
Very important for membrane formation

hormones
