lipids and protein

Fats and proteins are insoluble in water. Molecules made up from the combination of one molecule of glycerol with three fatty acids. The purpose of the fat is to serve as a storage system and reserves the supply of energy.During periods of low food consumption, fat reserves in the body can be broken down to release energy. Fats can be classified as either saturated or unsaturated depending on the structure. Saturated fats having health risks like arteries and heart disease. They are at room temperature. However proteins are polymer of amino acids. Protein is made up of different types of amino acids. Two amino acids bond together and create a long chain. There are two main types of protein in the human body, which are structural protein and functional protein. Structural protein forms a solid material, like hair and tendons. The functional protein helps get out functions in the human body. It occurs in red blood cells, and transports oxygen in the body.
