Is an unsaturated fatty acid considered a lipid?

Yes, an unsaturated fatty acid is considered a type of lipid. Lipids are a diverse group of molecules that include fats, oils, and certain components of cell membranes, such as fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds in their carbon chain, which distinguishes them from saturated fatty acids.
