Lipids are fats. They can be used for energy after the supply carbs have been depleted. They also are used as protection for internal organs and musculature. They create a fatty barrier to protect against forces

What would happen to a person who did not have lipids?
Deficiency of lipids is a defect in metabolism in the body which can lead to severe heart diseases.
Why is a diet containing no lipids unhealthy?
You cannot survive without lipids. If you were to live on a diet with no lipids whatsoever, your body would soon struggle to maintain itself. All cell membranes are made from lipids, as are the internal compartment membranes. These membranes are essential for almost all biological functions. Linoleic acid is an example of a lipid that is found in these membranes that your body cannot produce and must come from your diet. Linoleic acid, and other omega-6 fatty acids, were once considered to be vitamins themselves. Some lipids are also required for effective absorption of other dietary vitamins.
What is the polymeric of lipids?
lipids are a fat found in areas of the body with large size and width. An example would be my penis :)

What does the most important function of the liver?
The liver has hundreds of roles, to determine the most essential would be hard. Perhaps the metabolizing and excreting of toxins? Perhaps the breaking down of amino acids, carbohydrates and lipids? Perhaps producing heat for our body? Who knows.
What type of lipid causes weight gain?
Lipids are fats and oils. All bodies need lipids to function, just like carbohydrates and proteins. Anything in excessive amounts will cause weight gain. Balance your diet. You get lipids naturally in whole foods. One tip, I would stay away from butter as much as possible.
What would the world be like without iron?
The world would not exist. Many of the essential organs in all organisms require iron to function. Therefore human would cease to exist.
Does the graph of and odd function have to contain the origin?
No function ever really has to contain the origin if you constrain the domain to not include zero. Another way would be to just start graphing at x=1 and continue increasing x. In fact, you don't even have to graph at all since an odd function is defined as f(x) + f(-x) = 0
Oil would be an example of what biomolecule?
Lipids

What is the function of alkaline solution in Biuret's test?
Alkaline levels are essential for the solution to change colour. Without alkaline levels, the colour of the solution would not be detectable.
