Fatty acid, glycerol, sphingosine and steroid derivatives is an example for derived lipids.
Explanation:
- Steroid derivatives are phenanthrene structures that are quite different from lipids made up of fatty acids.
- Sensu stricto, lipids are defined as a polar natural products that can be classified as fatty acids whose derivatives are waxes, triglycerides, phospholipids, sphingolipids and glycolipids.
- Fatty acids that can originate from the simple and compound lipids by means of hydrolysis.
- Cholesterol, bile acids, and sex and adrenocortical hormones are examples lipids can and do occur in cells in the form of droplets or bound to other tissue entities.
- A lipid is any of various organic compounds that are insoluble in water.
- They include fats, waxes, oils, hormones and certain components of membranes and function as energy storage molecules and chemical messengers.
- Examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins (such as A, D, E and K), hormones and most of the cell membrane that is not made up of protein.
- Lipids are not soluble in water as they are non polar but are thus soluble in non polar solvents such as chloroform.
- Steroid derivatives are phenanthrene structures that are quite different from lipids made up of fatty acids.
