Lipid

Štruktúra niektorých častých lipidov

Lipidy tvoria veľkú skupinu prírodných molekúl, ktoré zahrnujú tuky, vosky, steroly, v tuku rozpustné vitamíny (A, D, E a K), monoglyceridy, diglyceridy, fosfolipidy a iné. Hlavné biologické funkcie lipidov:

• skladovanie energie
• sú štruktúrne komponenty bunkových membrán
• sú dôležité signalizačné molekuly
