Lipids:
Lipids are mostly from carbon and hydrogen atoms. Lipids include the
compounds we call fats, oils, waxes, and steroids. Lipids can be used
to store energy, and they form important parts of biological membranes
and waterproof coverings. Many lipids such as steroids hormones,
function as chemical messengers.
A typical fat consists of a glycerol molecule joined with three fatty acids.
