Lipids

Lipids are a broad class of naturally occurring molecules that are defined by their hydrophobic or amphipathic properties. This group includes various subtypes such as triglycerides, waxes, fatty acids, sterols, and phospholipids, each playing essential roles in energy storage, membrane structure, and cellular signaling. Understanding lipids is crucial in biochemistry as they exhibit diverse functions and structural variations that impact biological processes.
