The difference between lipids and other biomolecules is in their chemical properties. Lipids include different types of molecules like fats, steroids, oils, and waxes. but lipids do not form big polymers like other biomolecules do. Examples of other biomolecules are protein and nucleic acid.

Lack of basic unit that repeats --- Carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids all have basic molecular units and in some kinds, these units are arranged as chain of long repeating structures. The different kinds of lipids are totally different from one another, and there's no repeating basic unit.

How would you distinguish the biomolecules from other molecules. What is the criterion for classifying a biomolecule as micromolecule or macromolecule?
Biomolecules contain protoplasm which other molecules do not contain. Micromolecules are with low molecular weight e.g glucose, water. Macromolecules are with high molecular weight e.g starch, protein etc.
What are the digestive compartments of a cell called?
Lysosomes form the digestive compartments of a cell. They are involved in cellular digestion. Lysosomes are membrane bound cell organelles that have hydrolytic enzymes that can break down biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids and other cellular waste materials.
What type of Bonds are formed from atoms in large complex biomolecules bonding to other atoms?
celefidual bonds
What do glycerol and lipids make?
lipids are made up of 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol
Five types of compounds that are lipids?
Oils and Fats are both lipids.Oils, from plant sources, are liquid at room temperature. Fats, almost exclusively [coconut oil is the 'saturated' example] from animal sources are typically solid at room temperature.Saturated lipids are as straight as a toothpick and stack very nicely at room temperature.Unsaturated lipids contain one or more C=C double bonds. Among other things, this introduces the equivalent of a Dog's Leg bend [or bends in poly-unsaturates] which makes 'the stacking' more difficult.This is the [only] difference between Oils and Fats.

it refers to a chemical reaction that normally will be performed within a living oranism
What are some other words for lipids?
lipids are fats

Are steriods lipids?
yes, steriods is a form of lipids. lipids aresteroids, which have structures totally different from the other classes of lipids

When is fat unsaturated?
Fat is unsaturated when their molecules are able to bond to other biomolecules in the body. These biomolecules can break apart the fat for digestion. In saturated fats, the biomolecules cannot bond to the fat, so it does not break up, and it simply takes up space or passes through the body without doing anything.
Difference between plasma to the other state of matter?
the difference between plasma and the other states of matter is that,plasma is an ionized gas.
What is the difference between human birth and other primate?
There is no much difference between the human birth and other primates. The process is basically the same.
What are examples of lipids?
Well, you have Lipids that do stuff and some that do some other stuff and some that if made out of stuff. :(
