Lipids are not really elemental in a physical sense; they are more-so huge chains of molecules made up of mostly Carbon and Hydrogen atoms (elements).
Lipids always consist of hydrocarbons and generally will have a ketoacyl (O and C) or alcohol (OH) group attached to one end making them amphiphilic. There are also some lipids that have amine (NH) or amide (N and O) or phosphate (P and O) groups associated with the hydrophilic end of the chain. Depending on what kind of lipid you are talking about, they may contain lots of different "elements" (in the sense of elements making up molecules; not so much in the sense of free elements floating around with a charge associated with them like a red blood cell with iron incorporated in the heme group)
So to completely answer your question, all lipids will be made up of molecules consisting of the elements Carbon and Hydrogen and usually also at least one Oxygen Phosphorus or Nitrogen (oxygen being most common).

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 are the four elements found inn lipids?
Just 2 : carbon & hydrogen.
What elements is found in protein?
Carbohydrates and lipids.
What are the two elements lipids are made mostly of?
Lipids are mostly made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. These two elements form the hydrocarbon chains found in lipids, which provide energy storage and structural components in biological systems.
Which 3 elements are found in lipids protein and carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates and Proteins: Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What elements are always found in organic substances?
Organic substances always contain carbon and hydrogen. Many organic compounds also include oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. These elements form the basis of numerous biological molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
What elements are in proteins but not carbohydrates or lipids?
Sulfur is an element found in proteins but not in carbohydrates or lipids. It is essential for certain amino acids in proteins, such as cysteine and methionine, which contain sulfur atoms important for protein structure and function.
Is sodium found in nature by itself or is it always found bonded to other elements?
It is always found bonded with other elements, it goes through a process to become a single element.
What elements are in lipids?
Lipids typically consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Some lipids may also contain elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur in smaller quantities depending on their specific structure and function.
