Answer:
Lipids are the group of biomolecules that includes fats, oils, waxes, hormones, and steroids. They are polymers of fatty acids. They contain a long, nonpolar hydrocarbon chain with a small, polar part containing oxygen. This means that they are mostly nonpolar so they are not soluble in water.

Answer:
The most common building blocks of lipids are fatty acids. A fatty acid is a compound consisting of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group (−COOH) at one end. Typically, fatty acids are bound to a glycerol molecule which consists of three hydroxyl groups (-OH), each bound to a carbon atom.
