Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are a class of macromolecules that are nonpolar and hydrophobic in nature. Major types include fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids. Fats are a stored form of energy and are also known as triacylglycerols or triglycerides.
Detailed explanation-2: -11.1 Introduction: The Four Major Macromolecules These are the carbohydrates, lipids (or fats), proteins, and nucleic acids. All of the major macromolecule classes are similar, in that, they are large polymers that are assembled from small repeating monomer subunits.
Detailed explanation-3: -THEY ARE MICROMOLECULES. AS THE MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF THESE MOLECULES ARE LESS. THEY ARE THE MONOMERIC UNITS OF A LARGE POLYMERIC SUBSTANCE. IN THIS CASE-ITS THE LIPIDS WHICH ARE THE ESTERS OF FATTY ACIDS WITH GLYCEROL.
