Crossword Puzzle

Exploring LipidsOnline version

Test your knowledge on the essential molecules that play key roles in biology.

by Juanita Bercede
1

A type of fat found in the blood, composed of three fatty acids and glycerol.

2

A molecule that forms the structural foundation of cell membranes, consisting of two fatty acids and a phosphate group.

3

A waxy substance found in the blood and cells, essential for producing hormones and vitamin D.

4

Referring to fatty acids that have no double bonds between carbon atoms, typically solid at room temperature.

5

Describing fatty acids that contain one or more double bonds, usually liquid at room temperature.

6

A broad category of hydrophobic organic compounds, including fats, oils, and waxes.

7

A carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which can be saturated or unsaturated.

8

A type of organic compound with a characteristic molecular structure, often involved in signaling and metabolism.

1

Long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxyl group (-COOH) at one end. They are the building blocks of many lipids and their length and saturation (presence of double bonds) determine the lipid's properties

2

Esters of glycerol and three fatty acids. They are the primary form of energy storage in animals and plants. Solid triglycerides are called fats, while liquid ones are oils

3

Similar to triglycerides but with one fatty acid replaced by a phosphate group and often a polar head group. Their amphipathic nature (both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions) makes them crucial components of cell membranes

4

Lipids characterized by a four-fused ring structure. Examples include cholesterol (a membrane component and precursor to other steroids) and steroid hormones (e.g., testosterone, estrogen)

5

Fatty acids with only single bonds between carbon atoms. They are typically solid at room temperature and are often associated with higher LDL cholesterol levels

6

Fatty acids with one or more double bonds between carbon atoms.

7

A sterol, a type of steroid, that is a crucial component of animal cell membranes, affecting membrane fluidity.
