They are called fats {not quite the same as a fatty acid} - and they are from animal origins. They are saturated - in space they are straight like a tooth pick [and they stack pretty much like a box of tooth picks]. When C=C double bonds are included, the Lipid becomes unsaturated which gives the lipid a 'dogs leg' bend - called Oils, they do not then conform into a solid as easily as they did when they were saturated {and are liquid at room temperature}.

Lipids that are solid at room temperature are known as?
If a lipid is saturated, then it is a saturated fat and is solid at room temperature (saturated means it has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms in the atomic structure). If the lipid is unsaturated, then it is an oil that is a liquid at room temperature. Remember: lipids are a broad term covering any fat soluble substances such as fats, oils, fat soluble vitamins, waxes, etc.
Are All lipids are solid at room temperature?
No. Lipids is a general term for various types of fatty acids. If a lipid is saturated, then it is a saturated fat and is solid at room temperature (saturated means it has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms in the atomic structure). If the lipid is unsaturated, then it is an oil that is a liquid at room temperature. Remember: lipids are a broad term covering any fat soluble substances such as fats, oils, fat soluble vitamins, waxes, etc. No! Lipids are a big - and kinda vague - group. Between them, they vary greatly in their physical properties. Oleic acid, a very common lipid, is liquid at room temperature. I'm sure there are many, many more that are the same way.
What is the state for room temperature for silver?
The state of silver at room temperature is a solid.
What is solid at room temperature and comes from animals?

Which type of lipid stores extra energy and is liquid at room temperature?
Triglyceride
What are solid lipids at room temperature?
Any lipid that is hydrogenated. Having single carbon carbon bonds lets all the hydrogen bond and allows the lipid to remain a solid at room temperature.
What is a lipid molecule usually solid at room temperature?
Examples: lecithin, ergosterol.
Can fats be oil at room temperature?
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.
What type of bond determines whether a lipid will be solid or liquid at room temperature?
Double bond!!
