- Lipids are fats and oils
- are macromolecules
- long-term storage of energy and carbon
- building of structural part of cell membrane
Fats and oil are not polymers like carbohydrates and proteins
Fats are made up of fatty acids and glycerol: the most common arrangement is found in tryglycerides
Fatty acid have an acid group and side chain group
If the R group has single bonds, the fatty acid is saturated. If it has double bonds, it is unsaturated
Phospholipids are important in the cell membrane
The presence of lipids can be checked with the emulsion test.

No. Lipids are composed of a "backbone" of glycerol and three carboxylic acid groups of varying length. Both glycerol and carboxylic acids contain only the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Do all organisms use the same process to produce lipids?
No not all organisms use the same process to produce lipids. Lipids are produced in a variety of ways depending on the organism. Generally lipids are produced through either biosynthesis or digestion. Biosynthesis is a metabolic process that involves the building of molecules from smaller components often with the input of energy from ATP. This is the process used by plants and some microorganisms to produce lipids. Digestion is the process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler components. This is the process used by animals to obtain lipids from food sources.In some cases lipids are also produced through chemical processes such as the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.
Are lipids organic?
Yes, lipids are organic compounds.
