Fill in the blanks using (fatty acids, glycerol, sphingolipids,steriods, glycolipids, glycerophospholipid, triacylglycerols.)
Compounds that contain a fused ring system are called__________. These have three 6-membered rings and one 5-memberedring. Some of these compounds are found in biological membranes._________ are the building blocks for many lipids, and theygenerally contain an even number of carbon atoms and an unbranchedhydrocarbon chain. ________ are formed when a carbohydrate isglycosidically linked to a hydroxyl group of a lipid. Examplesinclude gangliosides and cerebrosides. These are found inbiological membranes. ________ are the storage form of lipids,accumulating in adipose tissue, and they can be used as metabolicfuel. These compounds have a polar part, made of three estergroups, and a nonpolar fatty acid tail. They behave as allnonpolar. ________ are made up of a long-chain amino alcoholjoined, either by a glycosidic linkage and a phosphodiesterlinkage, to a fatty acid. These do not contain ______. They areabundant in the nervous system. When glycerol is esterfied to twofatty acids and a phosphoric acid molecule a _____ is formed. Theseare found in biological membranes.
