Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are composed mainly of carbon and hydrogen, but they can also contain oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorous. They provide nutrients for organisms, store carbon and energy, play structural roles in membranes, and function as hormones, pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and pigments.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because oxygen is essential for the degradation of lipids, a more complete understanding of oxygen’s role and reactivity in lipid-containing systems will lead to a successful design of alternative, effective antioxidative solutions.

Detailed explanation-3: -What are lipids made of? Oxygen, carbon and hydrogen bond to each other to form lipids. Lipids like cholesterol are part of your cell membranes. They give your cells structure and allow substances to go in and out of your cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lipids are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and in some cases contain phosphorus, nitrogen, sulfur and other elements.
