Term : lipid
Coined : in 1923 by G. Bertrand from Anc Greek ?????/lipos
(=fat, grease) from verb ?????/livo (=grease)
Definition : organic compound insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents which involve fats , oils, waxes, sterols cholesterol and triglycerides. Lipids are essential structural component of living cells, helping to energy storage and to cell signalling.
