a example of a lipid is cholesterol and hormones.
Next answer:
The above is not quite correct since it does not really address the question of a saturated lipid:
Lipids: long carbon chains with mostly hydrogens attached. They are hydrophobic (nonpolar; does not break down in water).
Saturated fats: long chains of lipids that physically stack atop one another very well. They have the maximum possible number of H atoms attached to every C atom.
Unsaturated fats: lipid chains that do not stack neatly due to physical kinks in the molecule chain caused by multiple bonds (uneven charge distribution). Results from a gap where there is no H and thus a double bond forms between two C atoms.
Plants have mostly unsaturated fats. There are, however, many saturated fats found in plants. Oleic acid is a common one, as is linoleic acid. Some plant-derived oils have a high saturated fat ratio, such as palm and coconut oil.

How do you know if a lipid is saturated?
Saturated lipids have no double bonds between carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains, making them straight and able to pack tightly together. This structure gives saturated lipids a solid form at room temperature. Chemically, saturated lipids will not undergo a reaction with bromine water.
What is a lipid with a high degree of saturated bonds?
A lipid with a high degree of saturated bonds is typically referred to as a saturated fat. Saturated fats are primarily found in animal products, such as meat and dairy, as well as some plant oils like coconut and palm oil. They are characterized by having no double bonds between carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains, which results in a solid state at room temperature. Excessive consumption of saturated fats is linked to increased levels of LDL cholesterol and potential heart health issues.
What is lipid rafts in plant membranes?
Lipid in membranes is phospholipid. It lays the foundation
What are three examples of lipids in cells?
A) The lipid - Fat - is from animal sources and is a solid at room temperature, while the lipid - Oil - is from plant sources and is a liquid at room temperature. B) Saturated and mono-unsaturated are the most common lipids. They also do form special attachments - such as with phosphate to form the very important phospholipids.
Is saturated fats a lipid?
Technically yes, however, Saturated Fats are better sub-catagorized under fats themselves. I say that Saturated Fats are technically Lipids because Lipids are composed of: Fats, Oils, and Waxes.
What type of lipid is stearic acid?
Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid, which is a type of lipid. It is commonly found in animal fats and some plant oils.
What macromolecule is saturated?
A lipid
Is saturated fat a monomer of a lipid?
No, saturated fat is not a monomer of a lipid. Monomers of lipids are fatty acids, which can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fats consist of long chains of saturated fatty acids.
What macromolecule is Saturated fat?
A lipid
What is the Difference between saturated and unsaturated lipid?
The difference is related to which long chain fatty acid is incorporated. If it is a fatty acid that has double bonds, then it is an unsaturated lipid. If it contains fatty acids that have no double bonds, then it is a saturated lipid.
Is palmitate organic?
Yes palmitate is a lipid, which is organic.
How do you know if a lipid is saturated?
Saturated lipids have no double bonds between carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains, making them straight and able to pack tightly together. This structure gives saturated lipids a solid form at room temperature. Chemically, saturated lipids will not undergo a reaction with bromine water.
Where are lipids and proteins both found?
You can find lipids and proteins in food. example: whole milk-contains saturated fat(which is a type of lipid) and protein.
What is a lipid with a high degree of saturated bonds?
A lipid with a high degree of saturated bonds is typically referred to as a saturated fat. Saturated fats are primarily found in animal products, such as meat and dairy, as well as some plant oils like coconut and palm oil. They are characterized by having no double bonds between carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains, which results in a solid state at room temperature. Excessive consumption of saturated fats is linked to increased levels of LDL cholesterol and potential heart health issues.
What is the most infuencial lipid in raising blood cholesterol?
saturated fat
Which lipid in a diet that most profoundly raises blood cholesterol?
saturated fat
What kind of lipid does each carbon atom in a lipid's fatty acid chain join with another carbon atom by a single bond?
saturated
