Uses of Lipids
• Long-term energy storage• Biological membranes• Chemical messengers• Waterproof coverings.
Types of Lipids• Fats - lipids that are made with one glycerol
molecule and three fatty acid chains. – Used for long-term energy storage, protection,
and insulation.

Types of Lipids
• Phospholipids - lipids that have a polar headand two non-polar tails.– Major component of cell membranes.
Types of Lipids
• Steroids - lipids that contain four carbon rings. – Serve as chemical messengers in the body.
Types of Lipids
• Waxes - lipids that are made from alcohol and fat.– Used for waterproof coverings.
