main structural
component of all cell
membranes.
Lipids
1. Lipids are oily or greasy nonpolar
molecules, stored in the adipose tissue of
the body.
2. Lipids are a heterogeneous group of
compounds, mainly composed of
hydrocarbon chains.
3. Lipids are energy-rich organic molecules,
which provide energy for different life
processes.
4. Lipids are a class of compounds
characterized by their solubility in
nonpolar solvents and insolubility in water.
5. Lipids are significant in biological systems
as they form a mechanical barrier dividing
a cell from the external environment
known as the cell membrane.
LIPIDS
Main biological functions
Reactions such as
hydrolysis release the
monomers by breaking
apart the polymers.
