What are four groups of lipids?
I was searching for the same thing and found this fairly useful web page: http://www.fhsu.edu/chemistry/twiese/360/lipids/tsld004.htm Its not very detailed, but it gives you the outlines really quick.
Do triglycerides and sterols have very similar chemical structures?
Not exactly, sterols are a subgroup of steroids and contain ring structured carbons. Triglycerides on the other hand have a glycerol backbone attached to three fatty acid units. Both sterols and triglycerides are lipids.
The use of sterols and phospholipids?
Phospholipids are what allow our body to utilize water and fat. they can also act as carriers in the blood. Phospholipids are found in the cell walls. Sterols: are types of fat that consit of many compound within the body such as bile, sex homonoes, vitamines D and cortisols. They are not used for energy both phospholipids and Sterols are two of the remaining thre categories of lipids
Can a lipid be distinguished from a sugar?
Lipids are not a carbohydrate. Lipids are lipids. Lipids include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins, monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, and phospholipids. Sugar includes monosaccharides galactose, lactose, and fructose and other saccharides. These are carbohydrates characterized by a sweet flavor. In most cases and in common use sugar almost exclusively refers to sucrose (glucose + fructose). There are no compounds which are in both groups save glycolipids, lipids with carbohydrate side-chains.
Do lipids contain methane?
no!!! LIPIDS are anyof a group of organic compounds, including the fats, oils, waxes, sterols, and triglycerides, that are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar organic solvents, are oily to the touch, and together with carbohydrates and proteins constitute the principal structural material of living cells.
What are the three types of lipids found in foods?
triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols
How lipids are stored in the body?
They are stored as triglycerides, phospholipids and sterols(cholesterol)Are you studying for Dr. Small's test?
What are 3 classes of lipids found in the body?
1) triglycerides (fatty acids) (2) Phospholipids (similar to triglycerides) but contain phosporus and 3) sterols (cholesterol)
What are the three common categories of lipids?
1. Phospholipids 2. Sterols 3. Triglycerides These are the correct answers.

What are the sub-units of lipids?
The subunits of lipids are fats, oils, waxes, sterols and triglycerides.

What are the three major divisions of lipids?
triacylglycerols phospholipids, and sterols
