No, lipids are not capable of causing molecules to change. The items that actually cause them to change are enzymes.

Do enzymes or lipids cause molecules to change?
Enzymes are the catalytic compounds (proteins) that facilitate organic chemical reactions - NOTE neither lipids or enzymes CAUSE molecules to change.
Glycerol forms the background of which molecules?
lipids
When lipids and water are mixed do the water molecules isolate themselves into droplets?
This is possible only if the ratio of lipid is massive to the ratio of water. However, this is usually not the case. In most cases, when lipids and water are mixed, the hydrophobic properties of the lipids cause the lipids to coalesce at the top of the water without mixing, because that lipids are less dense than water.
Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Lipids are hydrophobic. This quality means that they repel water rather than draw it in.
What kind of chemical bond is found in lipids?
mostly covalent bonds as lipids are organic molecules
Do enzymes or lipids cause molecules to change?
Enzymes are the catalytic compounds (proteins) that facilitate organic chemical reactions - NOTE neither lipids or enzymes CAUSE molecules to change.
Do enzyme or lipids cause molecules to change without themselves changing?
ENZYMES
What are lipids of large molecules?
Lipids are fats, or to be technical, they are non-polar organic molecules. They do form large molecules but they do not polymerize.
Lipids are what type of molecules?
Fat molecules
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
Are lipids organic or inorganics?
Lipids are organic molecules that are naturally occurring and they are insoluble in water.
What category of biological molecules are steriods included in?
lipids
What molecules change over time in a cancer cell?
All of the functions and molecules of a cell are affected by it's DNA. All of the molecules of a cancerous cell could potentially change. This includes the glycocolyx, the membrane proteins, and lipids.
Molecules in lipids?
glycerol and fatty acids make up lipids.
Which two organic molecules make up the cell membrane?
lipids and proteins
What type of molecules are phospholipids?
lipids
These are primary molecules making up plasma membranes in cells?
lipids
