- They provide long-term energy storage and form protective coatings
- Saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fatty acids are liquid
- Phospholipids make up cell membranes and form a lipid bilayer
- Understanding the classification and function of lipids is essential for biological systems
