Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Glycerol and fatty acids are described as the monomers of lipids. Some lipids function for energy storage, others play a role in cushioning bony parts of the body. Waxes function to protect a plant or animal surface from dehydration. They are considered an important component of the cell membrane.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids are an essential component of the cell membrane. The structure is typically made of a glycerol backbone, 2 fatty acid tails (hydrophobic), and a phosphate group (hydrophilic). As such, phospholipids are amphipathic.
