1 The four primary organic macromolecules
Lipids are used as hydrophobic structural components to create barriers to water, and also as a mechanism of energy storage Fats (composed of glycerol and fatty acids) Fatty Acids

2 The four primary organic macromolecules
Lipids are used as hydrophobic structural components to create barriers to water, and also as a mechanism of energy storage Fats (composed of glycerol and fatty acids) Phospholipids (composed of a charged phosphoric acid and uncharged fatty acid chains)

3 The four primary organic macromolecules
Lipids are used as hydrophobic structural components to create barriers to water, and also as a mechanism of energy storage Fats (composed of glycerol and fatty acids) Phospholipids (composed of a charged phosphoric acid and uncharged fatty acid chains)

4 The four primary organic macromolecules
Lipids are used as hydrophobic structural components to create barriers to water, and also as a mechanism of energy storage Fats (composed of glycerol and fatty acids) Phospholipids Steroids (have a specific four-ring structure) - include cholesterol, steroid hormones, vitamin D
