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.
Which atoms form lipids?
No atoms are composed of lipids (atoms are made from electrons, protons and neutrons). Lipids are however composed of atoms. A lipid is a compound, a molecule made up of atoms of Oxygen, Carbon and Hydrogen. Lipids are "fats".
Do lipids contain phosphorus?
Some lipids do contain phosphorus, such as phospholipids. Phospholipids are an important component of cell membranes, contributing to their structure and function.
Do lipids have nitrogen?
No, lipids do not contain nitrogen. Lipids are organic molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Nitrogen is not a component of lipids.
Do all lipids contain one or more fatty acid chains?
No, not all lipids contain fatty acid chains. Source: Glencoe CHEMISTRY MATTER AND CHANGE. McGraw-Hill. pg. 787. :)

What uses do plants have to make sugar for energy storage?
Store some of it as Starch .Some plants also store energy by converting sugar to lipids.
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 does your body do with lipids fat's?
The body uses lipids (fats) as a source of energy, insulation to protect organs, and to help absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Lipids also play a role in cell structure and function. When needed, excess lipids are stored in adipose tissue for future energy use.
