Lipids

Phospholipids are fat derivatives in which one fatty acid has been replaced by a phosphate group and one of several nitrogen-containing molecules.
Example: Phosphatidyl ethanolamine (also known as cephalin) ...

Lipids are compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar solvents.
Some lipids function in long-term energy storage. Animal fat is a lipid that has six times more energy per gram than carbohydrates.
