    Lipids play several important roles in biological membranes and structures. Phospholipids are structural components of membranes and act as surfactants. Membranes consist of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. Cholesterol regulates the fluidity of membranes by increasing order among phospholipids. Fatty acids and glycerol form triglycerides, which serve as an energy storage form.

    The key takeaways are that lipids include fatty acids, glycerolipids like triglycerides, glycerophospholipids like phosphatidylcholine, sphingolipids, and sterol lipids like cholesterol. Lipids serve important structural and functional roles as energy stores, signaling molecules, and insulation in membranes and myelin sheaths.

    Fatty acids are carboxylic acids that combine with glycerol in triglycerides or with phosphate groups in phospholipids. The most common naturally occurring fatty acid double bonds are cis double bonds.

    Lipids function as insulation, energy storage, and structural components of membranes. They also serve roles in cell signaling as prostaglandins and involvement in processes like inflammation and ovulation.
