this was so fascinating I think after I finish with my anatomy stuff I will start with chemistry. thank you so much.

Question, after the ester bond is formed and the hydrogen is lost from the OH group on the carboxylic acid, is it still a carboxylic acid when it is bonded to the glycerol? 

[MLangan86]

This video is brilliant! thanks!

great video :D anyway, you're lefty eh? :) :)

you did a fair job in explaining the chemistry of fats, trouble is you are conveying unproven info, saturated fats do not clog arteries. that is a myth. high insulin levels due to hi gi foods and poor nutrition causes a.g.e.s which damages linings, not sat fat unless it is a rancid fat then yea. cholesterol is a antioxidant and immune system assistant. excess carbs in blood cause damage sugars are readily oxidized, sat fats are not. they are coated to protect them from oxygen.

god, you are an angel!!!!! helped me understand the basic foundation of those lipids... thnx thnx thnx..

...but got one question: might sound stupid: does lipids have amino group and αcarbon as well, just like amino acids??

because i couldnt see that in the video...thxn...=)

Thank you!

[youtubasoarus]

Awesome descriptions, very educational.

[goonedogg]

great video!

[tnagan]

You are wonderful to do this for us! Very well explained.

[mrjamajam]

That was a fantastic explanation. U should have been my school teacher in chemistry. I would have learned more :)

GREAT VIDEO thank!!!

[hideflolife]

I can't thank you enough for this video - I know have a much better understanding of fatty acids.

[sofiiluchii]

thaanks! i understood so much more watching this 9-minute video than i did the 40mins in class :P

I believe the last sentence was to be something like:

A TRIGLYCERIDE is a glyceride in which the glycerol is esterified with three fatty acids. It is the main constituent of vegetable oil and animal fats

[onehappywon]

Ack..it cut out when you were going to tell us what it was called when you have a glycerol backbone and 3 fatty acid chains.

Anyway - this was SOO helpful! You explained what I couldn't understand in my class.

THANKS!!!

[TTUchem1010]

sorry about that - it's a triglyceride ("fat molecule")

[onehappywon]

Ahh...and that was the "missing link" that I was looking for! That definitely helps.

Again, thank you!!!!!!
