Lipid Classification

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Lipids are broadly classified as fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, steroids, and others. Fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated (cis/trans). Triglycerides store energy, phospholipids form membranes, and steroids (e.g., cholesterol) serve structural and signaling roles. Each class has unique chemical and physical properties, influencing nutrition, cell biology, and industrial applications (soap production, biofuels).
