Both carbohydrates and lipids contain a carboxyl group. They differ in that carbohydrates are formed between a carboxyl and an aldehyde group whereas a lipid is formed between a carboxyl and a hydroxyl group. Amino acids also contain a carboxyl group, though it forms a peptide bond with an amino group.

What compounds do cells contain?
cells contain a lipid bilayer with proteins embeded in this.
Do coconut contain lipid?
yes they have coconut milk
One way an amino acid differs from a lipid is that the amino acids contain?
Contain sulfur.
How large can a lipid bilayer sheet be?
A lipid bilayer is a very thin layer that is in between lipid molecules. It is about as think as a piece of paper and can be as large as it needs to be to contain the necessary cells.
What organic molecule is a lipid?
Unlike nucleic acids or carbohydrates, Lipids are not classified as polymers because their components are not identical (i.e. they are not monomers).
What is a polysaturated lipid?
A lipid's fatty acids contain more than one (1) double bond of carbon.
What are the similarities between protein and lipid?
Typically, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins all contain carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.
An unsaturated lipid contains what?
Carbon-carbon double bonds.
What kind of lipid has a carbon atom in a lipid's fatty acid chain that is joined to another carbon atom by a singel bond?
unsaturated
What kind of lipid does each carbon atom in a lipid's fatty acid chain join with another carbon atom by a single bond?
saturated
What compounds do cells contain?
cells contain a lipid bilayer with proteins embeded in this.
What specific chemical property makes lipids hydrophobic?
Lipid molecules are hydrophobic because they consist of long carbon-hydrocarbon backbones and contain only a small amount of oxygen.
Do coconut contain lipid?
yes they have coconut milk
Is a testosterone a lipid?
Yes, Testosterone is a lipid just as many other hormones. More specifically it is a steroid, which are lipid molecules composed of four carbon rings.
What does organs contain?
it contains carbon and hydogen.inorganic compounds do not contain carbon.
What three elements are lipids made of?
The term "lipid" commonly refers to fats, which are known chemically as triglycerides. Triglycerides are organic molecules that contain three different types of elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. But technically, lipids are a class of molecules that includes triglycerides, phospholipids, steroids, and waxes. So if you wanted to know what elements are found in lipids as a class, you'd have to allow for phosphorus as well, since phospholipids contain phosphorus in addition to carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Does carbon contain fats?
No. Fats contain carbon.
