A Level Biology Revision "Triglycerides"

You can find all my A Level Biology videos fully indexed at www.freesciencelessons.co.uk/a-level-revision-vide…

In this video we start looking at lipids. First we explore the general functions of lipids. Then we look at the structure of fatty acids and what is meant by saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Finally, we explore the structure of triglycerides and how they are formed in a condensation reaction.
