What are lipids?

LipidsUsed to store energy

One gram of fat contains over twice the energy of one gram of carbohydrate

Important categoriesFats, Oils, Waxes

Steroids

Phospholipids

StructureGlycerol molecule + 3 fatty acids

Proteins

Monomer-amino acid

Provide structure and help chemical reactions

Enzymes-speed up chemical reactions
