|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| lipids | include steroids such as the sex hormones and cholesterol, which serve very important functions in the body; fats and oils, which act as energy storage molecules in organisms, are also lipids; lipids are unable to dissolve in water because they are neutra
🗑

| neutral fats | Fats lack charge on their molecules and are thusly neutral.
🗑
|

| saturated fatty acids | Saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of Hydrogen atoms on the chains and have no double bonds.
🗑
|
||||
| triglycerides | triglycerides are made of one glycerol and three fatty acid molecules; the fatty acids are long chains of carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached, and end with the acidic group COOH
🗑
|

| steroids | are composed of a backbone of 4 fused carbon rings and are formed from a cholesterol precursor in the cells.
🗑
|

| unsaturated fatty acids | Unsaturated fatty acids have some double bonds between two carbon atoms where there is less than 2 hydrogen atoms attached
