Lipids

Lipids are a class of non-polar organic solvents. Esters and their derivatives, which are formed by the dehydration and condensation of fatty acids and alcohols, are referred to as lipids, including fats, waxes, steroids, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K), monoglycerides, diacylglycerides, and phospholipids.

Lipids are an important class of organic molecules in living organisms. They cover a wide range, have very different chemical structures, and have different physiological functions. However, they all have a common physical property, that is, they are generally insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. Its main physiological functions include energy storage, formation of cell membranes, and membrane message conduction.
