Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and in some cases contain phosphorus, nitrogen, sulfur and other elements.
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).
Detailed explanation-3: -one carbon, two hydrogen and one oxygen just like water. In lipids the components are the same but the ratio is less for oxygen, so it is 1:2:less than one for C:H:O.
