Lipids are a broad group of naturally occurring molecules which includes fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, and others. The main biological functions of lipids include energy storage, as structural components of cell membranes, and as important signaling molecules.
Lipids may be broadly defined as hydrophobic or amphiphilic small molecules; the amphiphilic nature of some lipids allows them to form structures such as vesicles, liposomes, or membranes in an aqueous environment. Biological lipids originate entirely or in part from two distinct types of biochemical subunits or "building blocks": ketoacyl and isoprene groups.Using this approach, lipids may be divided into eight categories: fatty acyls, glycerolipids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, saccharolipids and polyketides (derived from condensation of ketoacyl subunits); and sterol lipids and prenol lipids (derived from condensation of isoprene subunits).
Although the term lipid is sometimes used as a synonym for fats, fats are a subgroup of lipids called triglycerides. Lipids also encompass molecules such as fatty acids and their derivatives (including tri-, di-, and monoglycerides and phospholipids), as well as other sterol-containing metabolites such as cholesterol. Although humans and other mammals use various biosynthetic pathways to both break down and synthesize lipids, some essential lipids cannot be made this way and must be obtained from the diet.
Lipids are fats such as waxes, hormones, and oils.
Lipid
Fats are triglycerides they belong to LIPIDS class of organic compounds.
Lipids are made of Carbon and Hydrogen molecules. They store long-term energy as fat within the human body. Examples: Olive oil, peanut oil, corn oil, etc.
No, sodium is a highly reactive metal that does not occur free in nature. Lipids are a type of carbon compounds (e.g. fats, cholesterol).
A lipid. A lipid.
No, you have misunderstoof the definitions. An oil is a lipid that is liquid at room temperature and a fat is a lipid that is solid at room temperature, therefore by definition a fat cannot be an oil at room temperature.

fats
simple lipid is define to as esters of fatty acids with various alcohols. Types: a.neutral fats(fats and oils) b.waxes
lipid
They are fats...so...it can unhealthy.
No, lipids are fats.
fats,oils,and waxes
I think it is lipid
Lipids are fats and cholesterol. A lipid disorder is when the levels are abnormally high or low.
