about lipids?

Question

can someone plese tell me the subunits in lipids ?

Answer 1

Types of Lipids
Fat - Fats consist of a wide group of compounds that are generally soluble in organic solvents and largely insoluble in water. Chemically, fats are generally triesters of glycerol and fatty acids. Fats may be either solid or liquid at normal room temperature, depending on their structure and composition. Although the words "oils", "fats" and "lipids" are all used to refer to fats, "oils" is usually used to refer to fats that are liquids at normal room temperature, while "fats" is usually used to refer to fats that are solids at normal room temperature. "Lipids" is used to refer to both liquid and solid fats. The word "oil" is used for any substance that does not mix with water and has a greasy feel, such as petroleum (or crude oil) and heating oil, regardless of its chemical structure.
Phospholipid are a class of lipids, and a major component of all biological membranes, along with glycolipids, cholesterol and proteins. Understanding of the aggregation properties of these molecules is known as lipid polymorphism and forms part of current academic research.
Steroids - A steroid is a terpenoid lipid characterized by a carbon skeleton with four fused rings, generally arranged in a 6-6-6-5 fashion.
Waxes - Fatty acids and an alcohol

Answer 2

There are several different kinds of lipids, but probably the most discussed would be the glycerophospholipids, the sphingolipids of the nervous system, triglycerides, etc. The simplest answer I can give you is that the basic "subunits" as you call it would be long chain fatty acids, for the most part.
