Lipids are a class of hydrocarbon-containing organic compounds essential for the structure and function of living cells. Lipids are characterized by being water-insoluble and soluble in nonpolar organic solvents. Although the term lipid is often used as a synonym for fat, the latter is in fact a subgroup of lipids called triglycerides.

Lipids (fatty acids) are formed on the smooth side of the endoplasmic reticulum, a type of organelle present to eukaryote cells. The rough side of the endoplasmic reticulum produced proteins.

Pronunciation: (lim'pid), [key]
—adj.
1. clear, transparent, or pellucid, as water, crystal, or air: We could see to the very bottom of the limpid pond.
2. free from obscurity; lucid; clear:

Our cells need lipids to survive, which, to them, is long term energy.

Lipids are types of fat. In a very genetic, concentrated way, lipids are fat. So...go from there.
