Significance of Lipids in Biological Processes: Fats, Oils, Waxes, Phospholipids, and Cholesterol

What are lipids?

fats, oils, waxes

Lipids are a broad group of naturally-occurring biomolecules that share common physical and chemical properties. They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and they are mostly hydrophobic (water-insoluble) due to their nonpolar nature. Lipids play important roles in various biological processes, such as energy storage, cellular signaling, and membrane structure. Common examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids, and cholesterol.
