What elements are in lipids?
Lipids are compounds, not elements. Most lipids are triacyl esters of glycerol and fatty acids. They consist of three elements mostly: Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. (Sometimes Nitrogen and/or Phosphorous may be included as well)
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".
Are lipids composed of fatty acids and glycerol?
No, Lipids only contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
What is major source of energy that contains carbon oxygen and hydrogen?
carbohydrates and lipids
What Lipids have more what then they do oxygen atoms?
Potatoes and apples
Do lipids contain less oxygen than carbohydrates?
Yes Lipids contain less oxygen because the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen for carbohydrates is 2:1 while for lipids it varies but let's say its for Lauric acid (CH3C10H20COOH) the ratio is 12 hydrogen for 1 oxygen. So lipids do contain less oxygen than carbohydrates
What is the elements of lipids?
The elements of lipids are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and sometimes nitrogen.
What do lipids have more of than oxygen?
Lipids also contain carbon and hydrogen.

What elements make up lipids-?
Lipids contain Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon. Some even contain Phosphorus. Below are types of lipids. fats, waxes, steroids, monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides and phospholipids.
Are lipids composed of fatty acids and glycerol?
No, Lipids only contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
What three atoms made up lipids?
Lipids are made of carbon and hydrogen with a little oxygen.
What are the elements of lipid's?
Lipids is another term for fat. Lipids are chemically triglycerides.
What occurs when lipids and oxygen are combined?
rancid fat
What are the similarities between proteinscarbohydrates and lipids?
Typically, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins all contain carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.
Compare the structures and functions of the biomolecules lipids and starches?
Lipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Starches are composed of monosaccharides. In lipids you find less number of oxygen than in carbohydrates. Therefore, lipids give you twice as much energy as carbohydrate. Lipids constitute the bilayer, which is not the case with starch.
