Fat
Published by the Wellcome Trust, the 'Big Picture' explores issues around biology and medicine.
Fat is a word that carries a lot of weight, conjuring up topics as diverse as obesity, hibernating animals, and what we eat and how we cook it. This issue of the Big Picture looks at the fats and lipids to find out what they do, not just inside us and other organisms but also in the world around us. Curriculum links include transport across cell membranes, biological molecules, triglycerides, membrane structure, digestion and absorption.
