Lipids: Structure, Properties, and Chemical Testing

Lipids are a broad category of organic compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. This defining characteristic comes from their largely nonpolar hydrocarbon chains. They're essential for many biological functions, including energy storage, structural components of cell membranes, and signaling.
