Lipid is the collective name for fats, oils, waxes and fat-like molecules (such as steroids) found in the body. protection, waterproofing, insulation and buoyancy agents. The basic unit of lipids is a triglyceride, synthesised from glycerol (propane-1,2,3-triol) and fatty acids. Glycerol is a type of alcohol. Alcohols are organic compounds.
