This lecture covers the structure and function of lipids, focusing on topics such as the impact of secreted phospholipase A2 on membrane structure, the behavior of lipid bilayers, the elution order of lipids on a silica column, the correlation between fatty acid structure and melting point, and the construction of triacylglycerols. It also discusses the classification of membrane lipids, the impact of branched-chain fatty acids on membrane fluidity, and the process of saponification using sodium hydroxide.
