As each lipid differs due to the changing of the attached fatty acid, there is no one formula to define a lipid. The formula for a glycerol is C{3}, H {5}, (OH)3. The rest of the formula depends upon which fatty acids are attached.

I hope you find this helpful :)

Lipids molecular formula?

The general molecular formula for lipids is CnH2nO, where "n" represents the number of carbon atoms in the lipid molecule. Lipids can vary in structure, with different types such as triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols having distinct molecular formulas based on their specific composition.

What does carbohydrate lipids and proteins have in common?

Lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates are all organic compounds. This means they all contain carbon atoms. The general formula for carbohydrates is CH2O meaning there are two hydrogen atoms for every carbon and oxygen atoms. Lipids are composed of an alcohol(ethanol) and a fatty acid. Proteins contain amino acids which are compounds that contain nitrogen.

Why are lipids described as non-polymeric?

Unlike the proteins,nucleic acid and polysaccharides, lipids are not polymers. It is because it do not contain any fixed monomeric units instead it has a long chain of methylene groups (-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-)and has a general formula : CH3-(CH2)n-COOH
