Detailed explanation-1: -Some examples of lipids include butter, ghee, vegetable oil, cheese, cholesterol and other steroids, waxes, phospholipids, and fat-soluble vitamins. All these compounds have similar features, i.e. insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins (such as A, D, E and K), hormones and most of the cell membrane that is not made up of protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fats, oils, and waxes belong to the group of naturally occurring organic materials called lipids. Lipids are those constituents of plants or animals that are insoluble in water but soluble in other organic solvents.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lipids that are important to our discussion include fats and oils (triglycerides or triacyglycerols), fatty acids, phospholipids, and cholesterol. Fats and oils are esters of glycerol and three fatty acids.
