There are two general types of lipids: fats and oils. Fats come from animals and oils come from plants. A neat way to tell them apart is that fats are solid at room temperature while oils are liquid at room temperature.
Fats are saturated, they have no double bonds and are as straight as tooth-picks, and they stack the same way, i. e. easily. Oils contain C=C double bonds that turn the straight lipid into those that look like 'a dogs leg'; bent pieces that stack poorly and need a lower temperature to solidify.

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.
