Question
which is not a lipid?
waxes
sugars
oils
fats
Lipids are a diverse group of organic compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in non - polar solvents. Waxes, oils, and fats are all types of lipids. Waxes are esters of long - chain fatty acids and long - chain alcohols. Oils and fats are triglycerides (esters of glycerol and fatty acids). Sugars, on the other hand, are carbohydrates. Carbohydrates have the general formula \(C_n(H_2O)_n\) and are different from lipids in terms of their chemical structure and properties.
