Abstract
Lipids are a group of fat and fat-like substances, rich in carbon and hydrogen, that dissolve in organic solvents. They are necessary for maintaining the structural integrity of membranes and constitute approximately 40% of the total dry weight of membranes, the remaining 60% being proteins.
