Question

explain the chemistry of lipids​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lipids are naturally occurring (organic) compounds that are insoluble in polar solvents such as water . ... Lipids are composed of a glycerol molecule bonded to long hydrocarbon chain(s) (can be single or multiple) and, depending on the lipid, to other molecules—such as a phosphate group (phospholipids).

Explanation:

• Lipids. Lipid is the collective name for fats, oils, waxes and fat-like molecules (such as steroids) found in the body. Their roles include: ... chemical messengers (steroid 'hormones')
• Lipids are a heterogeneous group of compounds, mainly composed of hydrocarbon chains. Lipids are energy-rich organic molecules, which provide energy for different life processes. Lipids are a class of compounds distinguished by their insolubility in water and solubility in nonpolar solvents.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In biology and biochemistry, a lipid is a biomolecule that is soluble in non polar solvents. The functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes. Lipids have applications in the cosmetic and food industries as well as in nanotechnology.
