Lipids are composed of three fatty acids(usually) covalently bonded to a 3-carbon glycerol Functions: Long-term energy storage Structural components Hormones. insulators and cushions Structure of a phospholipid Phospholipids and glycolipids are important structural components of cell membranes. Phospholipids are modified so that a phosphate group(Poa)is added to one of the fatty acids. The addition of this oup makes a polar "head" and two nonpolar tails

Structure of a phospholipid, Phospholipids and glycolipids are important structural components of cell membranes. Phospholipids are modified so that a phosphate group (PO4 - ) is added to one of the fatty acids. The addition of this group makes a polar "head" and two nonpolar "tails
