Lipids are fats or oils, they are formed from Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen only.
A molecule of fat is made up of an organic acid called 'fatty acid' combined with one molecule of glycerol.
Glycerol = H2-C-O- Stearic acid
=H-C-O- Oleic acid
=H2-C-O- Palmitic acid

What kind of chemical bond is found in lipids?
mostly covalent bonds as lipids are organic molecules
What elements are in proteins but not carbohydrates or lipids?
Nitrogen! (Although rare elements are sometimes found, too.)
What elements are found in most lipid molecules?
Lipids are large organic molecules or "macromolecules." Due to their association with dietary fat, lipids won't win many popularity contests. But lipids are important for more than growing waistlines. Lipids function in energy storage, cell membrane structure, protection of living surfaces and chemical signaling. Lipids are different from most other biological molecules in that they are hydrophobic, meaning that they don't dissolve in water. This property is why the salad oil in your refrigerator separates into an oil layer and a vinegar layer (vinegar is mostly water). The major types of lipids are fats, oils, waxes, steroids and phospholipids, which make up cell membranes.
What chemical elements are found in orange?
what are those
What elements are in lipids?
Lipids are compounds, not elements. Most lipids are triacyl esters of glycerol and fatty acids. They consist of three elements mostly: Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. (Sometimes Nitrogen and/or Phosphorous may be included as well)
What elements is found in protein but not in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
What elements is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
What elements off the periodic are found in lipids?
There are few types of atoms that can be found in lipids. Oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen atoms are found in them, but they may also contain phosphate atoms.
Which elements is found in proteins but is not found in carbohydrates or lipids?
Proteins are nitrogen based while carbohydrates and lipids are not.
What kind of chemical bond is found in lipids?
mostly covalent bonds as lipids are organic molecules
What are the foods chemical elements found in?
Chemical elements are no food, can't eat them. Shouldn't this question be rephrased into: "What are the chemical elements found in food?" ?
What elements are in proteins but not carbohydrates or lipids?
Nitrogen! (Although rare elements are sometimes found, too.)
