OpenStudy (abb0t):

there's quite a few...but the main ones are fatty acids, phospholipids, glycolipids, and steroids, or cholesterols. their general structures are LONG carbon chains, with the exception of steroids/ cholesterols. Those are actually rings. You can find their functions online, but they have various functions! You can look in your book if you have one, if not I can find a good book that may have a few good notes on lipid functions
