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.

Lipids are nonpolar molecules that are hydrophobic, meaning they do not dissolve in water. They are essential for energy storage, structural components of cell membranes, and signaling molecules in the body. In contrast, other biomolecules like carbohydrates and proteins are polar and hydrophilic, and play roles in energy production, structural support, and enzyme function.

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.
