are a type of lipid
have carbon atoms arranged in long chains

Question

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
- Triglycerides and phospholipids are lipids with carbon atoms in long - chain fatty acids. Triglycerides have three fatty acid chains attached to glycerol, and phospholipids have two fatty acid chains and a phosphate - containing group.
- Steroids are lipids with a characteristic four - ring structure. All three (triglycerides, phospholipids, steroids) are types of lipids.
