Yes; Lipid molecules are long chains of carbon atoms [-CH2- groups - the tail end] that have an acid group at the head end.
Lipids are of two types: [saturated] fats come from animals and are solid at room temperature, while oils [with several different types of unsaturation] come from plants and are liquid at room temperature.

Which atoms are in lipids?
They are mostly just hydrocarbons - chains of Carbon with Hydrogen atoms hanging off the sides and ends.
Groups of atoms bonded to carbon chains are known as?
Functional
What molecule has hydrophobic fats oils waxes and steroids made from mainly carbon and hydrogen atoms in long chains?
lipids
How many carbon atoms are in a fatty acid molecule?
Yes! In all organic compounds carbons should be present!
What elements off the periodic are found in lipids?
There are few types of atoms that can be found in lipids. Oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen atoms are found in them, but they may also contain phosphate atoms.
Most lipids contain long chains of which two atoms?
carbon and hydrogen

How are carbohydreates and lipids similair?
Carbohydrates and lipids are similair because they both contain chains of carbon atoms bonded to oxygen and hydrogen atoms and they are both nonpolar molecules.
What molecule has hydrophobic fats oils waxes and steroids made from mainly carbon and hydrogen atoms in long chains?
lipids
What functions do lipids could you describe to convince the person of the importance of fats to his or her health?
lipids are nonpolar molecules that include fats, oils, and cholesterol. Like carbohydrates, most lipids contain chains of carbon atoms bonded to oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
Which atoms form lipids?
No atoms are composed of lipids (atoms are made from electrons, protons and neutrons). Lipids are however composed of atoms. A lipid is a compound, a molecule made up of atoms of Oxygen, Carbon and Hydrogen. Lipids are "fats".
An element whose atoms can make straight chains branched chains and rings chains?
Carbon. Your welcome :)
What are blocks of lipids?
Carbon and hydrogen atoms
How many carbon atoms are in a fatty acid molecule?
Yes! In all organic compounds carbons should be present!
What are lipids building blockes?
Carbon and hydrogen atoms
What Symmetric carbon atom?
symmetric carbon atoms are those atoms in which the carbon atoms valency is satisfied by same atoms r groups functional groups
