lipids are a broad group of naturally occurring molecules which includes fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, and others. The main biological functions of lipids include energy storage, as structural components of cell membranes, and as important signaling molecules.
simple answer: lipids are energy-rich compounds made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Lipids are organic molecules that contain hydrogen and carbon and are crucial for cell growth.
