How are lipids defined and in what type of solvent are they soluble or insoluble and what are their functions in the body?

Answer 1

Lipids constitute a broad group of naturally occurring moleculesthat include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K), and others. The main functions of lipids are energy storage, as structural components of cell membranes, and as important signaling molecules.

Answer 2

The lipids are a heterogeneous group of compounds related to fatty acids.

• lipids are actually chemical name of fats(unsaturated fatty acids) or oils(saturated fatty acids)

its uses are:

• they used to store energy as they contain double amount of energy than same amount of any carbohydrate(because they have higher proportion of C-H bonds and low proportion of oxygen)
• lipids are components of cellular membranes in the form of glycolipids and glycoproteins.
• act as water proof material because they are hydrophobic in nature
• they are present in the form of cutin in the cuticle of epidermis of some plants and prevent excessive loss of water
• they provide insulation against heat and cold
• they constitute the exoskeleton of some insects as waxes and provide mechanical protection.

Answer 3

Lipids are defined as a diverse group of organic compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol and ether. In the body, lipids play essential roles as energy storage molecules, components of cell membranes, and as signaling molecules. They are also important for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and provide insulation and protection for organs.
