Detailed explanation-1: -Waxes. Waxes are “esters” (an organic compound made by replacing the hydrogen with acid by an alkyl or another organic group) formed from long-alcohols and long-chain carboxylic acids. Phospholipids. Membranes are primarily composed of phospholipids that are Phosphoacylglycerols. Steroids. Cholesterol.
Detailed explanation-2: -Major types include fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids.
Detailed explanation-3: -The three main types of lipids are triacylglycerols (also known as triglycerides), phospholipids, and sterols.
Detailed explanation-4: -Beeswax-produced by honey bees. Chinese wax-produced by the scale insect Ceroplastes ceriferus. Lanolin (wool wax)-from the sebaceous glands of sheep. Shellac wax-from the lac insect Kerria lacca. Spermaceti-from the head cavities and blubber of the sperm whale.
