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.
Triglycerides, Phospholipids and Steroinds.
The function of lipids is cells is signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes.
They are the lipids. They are the monomers of lipids

Fats, oils, and waxes are the three types of lipids.
Triglycerides, Phospholipids and Steroinds.
The function of lipids is cells is signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes.
Examples of lipids are: sterol glycosides, cerebrosides, and plant phytoglycolipids
"Lipids" is a very broad category of compounds which can contain far more than three different elements.
Lipids are made of carbon and hydrogen with a little oxygen.
The three main categories of lipids are triacylglycerols, diacylglycerides, and steroids.
