Yes! In all organic compounds carbons should be present!
Lipids are organic compounds. They are soluble in non polar organic solvents, but insoluble in water. They are generally made up of long chains of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
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.
Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen

Yes, Carbon is present in fatty acids.
Not all of the atoms. The carbon atoms connected by a double bond in an unsaturated fatty acid have less rotational mobility than the carbon atoms connected by a single bond in a saturated fatty acid.
When a double bond is placed between two carbon atoms in oelic acid, the shape of the molecule tends to bend. This is a similar occurrence of shape changing in general with fatty acids when a double bond forms
The only molecules that are soluble in water are those that are polar. Also, ionic compounds are soluble in water, but they are not true molecules. They are insoluble in water because they are composed primarily of long chains of hydrocarbons. Fatty acids consist of long, unbranched hydrocarbons with a carboxylic acid group at one end. The number of carbon atoms in a fatty acid molecule is usually even (6, 8, 12, 32, 36, etc.), although it is not impossible to find a fatty acid with an odd number of carbon atoms in its structure. While the long, hydrocarbon chain of the fatty acid continues to be strongly hydrophobic, the presence of the carboxylic acid group at one end of the molecule adds some hydrophilic properties. Small fatty acids such as propionic acid (with 3 carbon atoms) mixes with water readily, caproic acid (with 6 carbon atoms) is only 0.4 percent soluble in water. When fatty acids or other nonpolar molecules are put into water, the water repels them because there are no parts of the molecule that have charge, thus no attraction.
It has more hydrogen atoms and fewer double bonds between carbon atoms.
its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.

2 carbon atoms
The difference between a saturated and unsaturated fatty acid are the number of hydrogen atoms and double carbon bonds in the fatty acid chain. A saturated fatty acid has no carbon double bonds, two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom along the chain and three for the carbon atom at each end. In an unsaturated fatty acid chain some of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by a double bond between neighboring carbon atoms. Mon-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids differ in the number of double carbon bonds in the chain, and thus the total number of hydrogen atoms.
Fatty acid chains with all single bonds are saturated fatty acids. All of the carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms.
A fatty acid as stearic acid , whose carbon chain contains no unsaturated linkages between carbon atoms and hence cannot incorporate any more hydrogen atoms.
Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the individual carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain; the chain of carbon atoms is fully "saturated" with hydrogen atoms.A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond; where double bonds are formed, hydrogen atoms are eliminated

carbon atoms linked by double bonds
When a double bond is placed between two carbon atoms in oelic acid, the shape of the molecule tends to bend. This is a similar occurrence of shape changing in general with fatty acids when a double bond forms
Saturated fatty acids have only single carbon-carbon bonds.
Its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
