Fats and Oils: Energy in storage
Vertebrates store excess

Some plants store food energy as
oil
s
Fats and oils contain more energy-rich
carbon-hydrogen bond
s than carbohydrates and therefore contain more chemical energy.
Because fats are
nonpolar
, they aren't "weighted down" by water molecules like glycogen, allowing them to store six times as much energy as glycogen.
A fat molecule consists of three molecules of
fatty acid
joined to one three-carbon alcohol with three
hydroxyl
groups.
A fatty acid consists of a long
hydrocarbon
chain that terminates in a carboxyl group (-COOH).
Carboxyl
group gives one end of the chain acidic properties.
Fat molecules are completely nonpolar and
hydrophobic
