Lipids

Lipids are organic compounds (chemicals built of the element carbon). In addition to carbon atoms, they consist mostly hydrogen, with a relatively low content of oxygen, nitrogen and other elements, as compared to other compounds found in biology. They are hydrophobic, meaning insoluble in water. In some cases, however, they can include hydrophillic--"water-loving" entities--such as phosphate groups, in which case they can dissolve both in oil and water. Types of lipids include oils and fats, waxes, steroids, phospholipids and similar compounds.
