Cuticle is the lipid that helps keep water in leaves by forming a waxy layer on the surface, reducing water loss through transpiration.
Cell membrane, it is composed of a lipid bilayer with various embedded proteins.
The egg of Ascaris lumbricoides is covered by three layers: an outermost proteinaceous layer called the vitelline layer, a middle lipid-rich layer called the chitin layer, and an innermost proteinaceous layer called the mammillary layer.
Proteins embedded in the plasma membrane are called integral membrane proteins. These proteins are permanently attached to the lipid bilayer and play important roles in various cellular functions such as cell signaling, transport, and cell recognition.
No, the cell membrane is composed of a double layer of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer. This lipid bilayer forms a barrier that separates the internal contents of the cell from the external environment.

A plant cuticle is a protective film covering the epidermis of leaves. It consists of lipid and hydrocarbon polymers containing wax.
A virus particle is composed of a nucleic acid that is surrounded by the capsid (which is the protective layer that is made out of protein). Some viruses can have lipid envelope however, not all viruses have a lipid envelope.
The layer of lipid around an axon is called myelin sheath. It acts as an insulator, allowing for faster transmission of nerve impulses along the axon.
Cell membrane, it is composed of a lipid bilayer with various embedded proteins.

A lipid wax is a type of lipid molecule that contains both fatty acids and long-chain alcohols. It is known for its water-repellent and protective properties, making it important for waterproofing and structural support in plants and animals. Lipid waxes commonly occur in the waxy coatings of leaves, fruits, and insect exoskeletons.
A lipid that cannot be hydrolyzed is called a wax. Waxes are esters of long-chain fatty acids with long-chain alcohols and are resistant to hydrolysis due to their structure. They are commonly found in plants and animals for protective purposes.
