Lipids can be used to store energy. Some lipids are important parts of biological membranes and water proof coverings.
To store energy
The major dietary source of lipids are triglycerides. The three major monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and galactose. The B vitamins that play major roles in facilitating energy production and making red blood cells.
That are the lipids. They have fatty acids and glucerols
lipids or fats are used for structural roles, precursor molecules, anchors for peripheral surface proteins, signalling molecules and of course energy source.

To store energy Depends where. In general though, lipids is mostly used as a barrier. In animals, it adds layers to skin. In cells, it is the main component of the cell membrane. In most species, lipid is merely an energy backup as glucose (sugars) are the primary source of energy in living things.
No, steroids belong to lipids, but not all lipids are steroids: eg. natural fats or oils are triglyceridic lipids, not steroidic lipids
That is the lipids. It is a good insulator.
The most common example is lipids.
Major Roles of Biological Lipids Biological molecules that are insoluble in aqueous solutions and soluble in organic solvents are classified as lipids. The lipids of physiological importance for humans have four major functions:1. They serve as structural components of biological membranes.2. They provide energy reserves, predominantly in the form of triacylglycerols.3. Both lipids and lipid derivatives serve as vitamins and hormones.4. Lipophilic bile acids aid in lipid solubilization.
What are all lipids?
yes, steriods is a form of lipids. lipids aresteroids, which have structures totally different from the other classes of lipids
