Q

lipids chemical makeup

A

C,H,O

21
Q

lipid functions

A

-Lipids (fats) store energy
-They are waterproof coverings and make up much
of cell membranes. they help trees make that
waxy leave covering to trap water from evaporating
-can also form some of the hormones in the body. e.g. fats and steroids like estrogen

22
Q

lipid polymer

A

Not polymers. They are made up of many molecules

but the molecules aren’t repeating.
