Fats are large non polar, insoluble molecules composed of elements - Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
Lipids are fats, or to be technical, they are non-polar organic molecules. They do form large molecules but they do not polymerize.

Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
All ionic molecules and all large fat molecules. What can get in (without help) is water and dissolved gases.
Macromolucules means large molecules (macro-large) consists of :Carbohydrates(suger),lipids(fat),proteins

Fats. Fat molecules are a rich source of energy for the body. The first step in digestion of a fat such as butter is to dissolve it into the watery content of the intestinal cavity. The bile acids produced by the liver act as natural detergents to dissolve fat in water and allow the enzymes to break the large fat molecules into smaller molecules, some of which are fatty acids and cholesterol. The bile acids combine with the fatty acids and cholesterol and help these molecules to move into the cells of the mucosa. In these cells the small molecules are formed back into large molecules, most of which pass into vessels (called lymphatics) near the intestine. These small vessels carry the reformed fat to the veins of the chest, and the blood carries the fat to storage depots in different parts of the body.
Fat molecules
huge, large, fat, plump
They are called macromolecules, from the Greek word meaning "large" or "great".
Fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules.
a fat is a large lipid made from 2 kinds of smaller molecules: glycerol and fatty acids
The bile aids the digestion of fats by the process of emulsification. The importance of this process is that iy breaks down the large fat molecules, increasing the surface to ensure absorption for energy.
