Lipids are different from other organic compounds primarily because they are not made of repeating monomer units like carbohydrates and proteins. They are hydrophobic and play diverse essential roles in biological systems, including energy storage and cell membrane structure. Additionally, they encompass a variety of types such as fats, oils, and steroids.
