Answer:
Explanation:
Lipids are a diverse group of small molecules. Glycerolipids, sterol lipids, sphingolipids, phospholipids – there are thousands of distinct lipids. Each of them is chemically unique and they have many different biological functions.
One biological role is to form the matrix of cell membranes, where they support a variety of vital functions. But lipids also function as energy storage, and serve as hormones, essential nutrients or cellular signaling molecules too. More and more we find functions related to individual lipid molecules.

The three main types of lipids are triacylglycerols (also called triglycerides), phospholipids, and sterols.
