Major Roles of Biological Lipids Biological molecules that are insoluble in aqueous solutions and soluble in organic solvents are classified as lipids. The lipids of physiological importance for humans have four major functions:1. They serve as structural components of biological membranes.2. They provide energy reserves, predominantly in the form of triacylglycerols.3. Both lipids and lipid derivatives serve as vitamins and hormones.4. Lipophilic bile acids aid in lipid solubilization.
