Understanding Lipids: Functions & Types by Amielle Lappay is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Lipids perform important biological functions in the body. They serve as structural components of cell membranes, store energy, and act as signaling molecules. Lipids include fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, sterols, and other compounds. They are mostly hydrophobic and insoluble in water. Lipid structures allow them to function in energy storage, insulation, chemical signaling, and other roles crucial for human health.
