- Lipids are fats and oils
- are macromolecules
- long-term storage of energy and carbon
- building of structural part of cell membrane
Fats and oil are not polymers like carbohydrates and proteins
Fats are made up of fatty acids and glycerol: the most common arrangement is found in tryglycerides
Fatty acid have an acid group and side chain group
If the R group has single bonds, the fatty acid is saturated. If it has double bonds, it is unsaturated
Phospholipids are important in the cell membrane
The presence of lipids can be checked with the emulsion test.

What are examples of lipids?
Examples of lipids include fats, oils, phospholipids, and cholesterol. Lipids serve various functions in the body, such as energy storage, insulation, and forming the structure of cell membranes.
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.
Do lipids have a nitrogen base?
No. Lipids are composed of a "backbone" of glycerol and three carboxylic acid groups of varying length. Both glycerol and carboxylic acids contain only the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Which molecules are types of lipids?
Nonpolar organic molecules are lipids...including tryglycerides, phospholipids, steroids, waxes, and pigments.
What are the monomers of lipids?
The monomers of lipids are fatty acids.
What are facts about lysosomes?
they contain enzymes that break down lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.
What are some other words for lipids?
lipids are fats
What do proteins have that carbohydrates and lipids don't?
They have Nitrogen in them But some carbohydrates and lipids have N
What are examples of lipids?
Examples of lipids include fats, oils, phospholipids, and cholesterol. Lipids serve various functions in the body, such as energy storage, insulation, and forming the structure of cell membranes.
What are the roles of lipids?
Lipids can be used to store energy. Some lipids are important parts of biological membranes and water proof coverings.
What are the elements of lipid's?
Lipids is another term for fat. Lipids are chemically triglycerides.
What accounts for the grease spots in lipids?
Grease spots in lipids are due to the hydrophobic nature of lipids, which allows them to repel water and form greasy spots. Lipids have long hydrocarbon chains that are nonpolar and interact with each other more than with water, leading to the formation of these greasy spots.
What are some example of nutriets?
lipids
What is fats lipids?
Some examples of fats and lipids are: butter, oils, fat off of pork and things.
What are some of the lipids found in a Cell membrane?
Some of the lipids found in a cell membrane include phospholipids (such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine), glycolipids, and cholesterol. These lipids play a crucial role in maintaining the structure and function of the cell membrane.
What are some hydrolyzable lipids?
Some hydrolyzable lipids include triglycerides, phospholipids, and sphingolipids. These lipids can be broken down into their component fatty acids and other molecules through hydrolysis reactions catalyzed by enzymes like lipases.
What are some limitation of the Sudan test for lipids?
To avoid some inhaling
