Lipids are generally fats, oils, waxes, cholesterol, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, and others.

lipids are a fat found in areas of the body with large size and width. An example would be my penis :)


What kinds of lipids are there?

Lipids from animal sources are generally straight-chained [and saturated] and because of this they stack like straight toothpicks and are thusly solid at room temperature - Fats. Lipids from plant sources generally possess unsaturated points that introduce what amounts to a 'dogs leg' - a bent toothpick - that makes the stacking process uneven and they are typically liquid at room temperature - Oils.


Five types of compounds that are lipids?

Oils and Fats are both lipids.Oils, from plant sources, are liquid at room temperature. Fats, almost exclusively [coconut oil is the 'saturated' example] from animal sources are typically solid at room temperature.Saturated lipids are as straight as a toothpick and stack very nicely at room temperature.Unsaturated lipids contain one or more C=C double bonds. Among other things, this introduces the equivalent of a Dog's Leg bend [or bends in poly-unsaturates] which makes 'the stacking' more difficult.This is the [only] difference between Oils and Fats.
