Fats, waxes and oils are all also known as lipids.
Testosterone and estrogen can be both classified as what type of molecule?
Lipids
Why are compounds classified as lipids?
Compounds are classified as lipids because they are hydrophobic molecules that are insoluble in water. Lipids include fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids, and they play key roles in energy storage, cell structure, and signaling within organisms.
Anabolic steroids used by some athletes are compounds that would be classified as?
Lipids!
Classification of lipids?
Lipids can be classified into several groups, including fatty acids, glycerolipids (such as triglycerides), glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, sterols (such as cholesterol), and terpenes. They all play various important roles in the body, such as energy storage, cell membrane structure, and signaling molecules.
What is the class that usually includes cholesterol?
Cholesterol is typically classified as a lipid, specifically a sterol.
What contains the living things that are classified as organic compounds?
lipids, nucleic acid, carbohydrates, and proteins
What is a non-example of lipids?
Water is a non-example of lipids. Lipids are organic molecules that include fats, oils, and cholesterol that are insoluble in water, whereas water is a simple inorganic molecule that is essential for various biological processes but is not classified as a lipid.
Why are the compounds classified as lipids?
OK lipids do not suck as answered previously....The compounds called lipids are grouped together because they share one important trait: They have little or no affinity for water. The hydrophobic behavior of lipids is based on their molecular structure. Although they may have some polar bonds associated with oxygen, lipids consist mostly of hydrocarbons. Smaller than true (polymeric) macromolecules, lipids are a highly varied group in both form and function. Lipids include waxes and certain pigments, but we will focus on the most biologically important types of lipids: fats, phospholipids, and steroids.
