Lipids are essential for storing energy, transmitting signals, and creating cellular membranes. Triglycerides, another name for fats, consist of three fatty acids attached to a glycerol. Lipids also encompass hormones and fat-soluble vitamins, making them vital for biological systems. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/ka_thumbnails_cache/78dbf842-7716-417e-97c6-f1d25d43d93a_1280_720_base.png Introduction to lipids Lipids, commonly associated with fats, are a group of biomolecules with low water solubility.
