    This document discusses lipids and their properties. Lipids are amphipathic molecules that have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. They serve as solvents for other cell compounds, allow biochemical reactions to occur, and help determine biological structure through hydrophobic interactions that stabilize bilayers and folded proteins.
