Summary Introduction
To review:
The relation between fats and lipids.
Introduction:
Lipids are the type of molecules that differ greatly in chemical structures. They are insoluble in water or polar solutions and hydrophobic in nature, but they are soluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene, ether, and other related compounds.
