BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and in some cases contain phosphorus, nitrogen, sulfur and other elements.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a fat molecule, a fatty acid is attached to each of the three oxygen atoms in the –OH groups of the glycerol molecule with a covalent bond (Figure 2). Figure 2. Lipids include fats, such as triglycerides, which are made up of fatty acids and glycerol, phospholipids, and steroids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because oxygen is essential for the degradation of lipids, a more complete understanding of oxygen’s role and reactivity in lipid-containing systems will lead to a successful design of alternative, effective antioxidative solutions.
