Fats (Lipids)

Lipids play crucial roles in biological systems, serving as valuable energy stores due to their insolubility in water. They provide essential insulation, including electrical insulation around nerve cells and thermal insulation beneath the skin, while also forming a critical part of cell membranes. Additionally, steroid hormones, such as sex hormones, are synthesized from cholesterol, showcasing the diverse functions lipids perform in the body. Understanding these functions is key to appreciating the importance of fats in our diet and health.
