Lipids are precursors to many hormones. They also form the fat which protects organs from shock. Believe it or not, a fat percentage of zero is not desirable. Too many people have taken this need for fat too far!

Biological molecules that are insoluble in aqueous solutions and soluble in organic solvents are classified as lipids. The lipids of physiological importance for humans have four major functions:
1. They serve as structural components of biological membranes.
2. They provide energy reserves, predominantly in the form of triacylglycerols.
3. Both lipids and lipid derivatives serve as vitamins and hormones.
4. Lipophilic bile acids aid in lipid solubilization

well on a freshman in high school level lipids are large, nonpolar, organic molecules that do not dissolve in water.
