What are some examples of lipids and their functions?

Answer 1

Fats, oil, steroids, waxes, vitamins, and many more.

Lipids' primary purpose is to serve as a great energy reserve due to their lengthy C-H chains and ability to dissociate.

Furthermore, because lipids are poor conductors of heat, they act as an insulator against heat loss beneath the skin, preserving body heat.

During respiration, lipids break down into water and carbohydrates, which hydrates us.

Examples of lipids include triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol, and waxes. Triglycerides store energy, phospholipids form cell membranes, cholesterol is a component of cell membranes and a precursor for steroid hormones, and waxes provide waterproofing and protection for plants and animals.
