•To describe lipids and their properties,
• To determine the double bonds in fatty acids qualitatively,
• To make the qualitative determination of cholesterol by a chemical method.

Lipids are biomacromolecules that have important structural and functional functions in the body. The type or quantification of lipids is of clinical importance. In these experiments, methods for the determination of unsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol will be introduced.
Classify carbohydrates and define terms reducing sugar and glycosidic bond. Fehling reaction will be depending on the properties of the saccharides.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins! Unique chemistry of each amino acid posesses the functional and structural properties of proteins.
