Made up mostly of hydrocarbon chains

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids tend to be hydrophobic, nonpolar, and made up mostly of hydrocarbon chains, though there are some variations on this, which we’ll explore below. The different varieties of lipids have different structures, and correspondingly diverse roles in organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Steroids are small lipids where the hydrocarbon backbone has been linked into four rings with various functional groups attached to the rings. Steroids, like other lipids, are nonpolar and hydrophobic.
Detailed explanation-3: -They are oily or greasy nonpolar molecules that are stored in the adipose tissue of the body. They are insoluble in water as water is a polar molecule and they are hydrophobic. They are a heterogeneous group of compounds but are mainly composed of hydrocarbon chains. More items
