Answer:
Lipids are all made of carbon, hydrogen
and little oxygen and are water insoluble
but get dissolved in organic solvents like
ether, benzene, acetone etc. The lipids are
not polymers but they are assembled
from smaller molecules by dehydration.
Lipids could be simple fatty acids or
glycerol (which is trihydroxy propane).
Many lipids have both glycerol and fatty
acids. Some lipids have phosphorus and a
phosphorylated organic compound in
them. Some lipids have more complex
structures.
