Therefore, the pK a is a quantitative measure of how easily or how readily the acid gives up its proton [H + ] in solution and thus a measure of the "strength" of the acid.

Lipids serve numerous and diverse purposes in the structure and functions of organisms. They can be a source of nutrients, a storage form for carbon, energy-storage molecules, or structural components of membranes and hormones. Lipids comprise a broad class of many chemically distinct compounds, the most common of which are discussed in this section.
