Do all organisms use the same process to produce lipids?

No not all organisms use the same process to produce lipids. Lipids are produced in a variety of ways depending on the organism. Generally lipids are produced through either biosynthesis or digestion. Biosynthesis is a metabolic process that involves the building of molecules from smaller components often with the input of energy from ATP. This is the process used by plants and some microorganisms to produce lipids. Digestion is the process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler components. This is the process used by animals to obtain lipids from food sources.In some cases lipids are also produced through chemical processes such as the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.
