What do fish, cheese, eggs, bacon, olive oil, and nuts have in common? They are all sources of
fat.
Fats are part of a diverse group of molecules called

Eggs, cheese, cream, salmon, almonds, butter, bacon, oil, and walnuts on a countertop.
Lipids perform many different functions. For example, fats store energy for long-term use, while phospholipids are the building blocks of cell membranes. Waxes form protective outer barriers on animals and plants. Steroids function as chemical messengers that regulate processes in the body.
