Lipids are mostly made up of Carbon and Hydrogen atoms. They also contain some Oxygen atoms. Lipids are formed when glycerol molecules combine with fatty acids(compounds). Each Lipid has a different structure even if the difference is very small. They belong in 3 different categories: fats, oils, and waxes. Lipids can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated is fatty acids in the state of having the highest number possible of hydrogen atoms. If there is one or more carbon-carbon double bonds in the fatty acid, then it is unsaturated.
Main Image: Ceramides are a family of lipid (group of naturally occurring molecules like fats, waxes, vitamins) molecules. A ceramide is composed of sphingosine (unsaturated hydrocarbon chain, which forms a primary part of cell membrane lipids) and a fatty acid. Ceramides are found in high concentrations within the cell (biological) membrane of cells. They are one of the component lipids that make up sphingomyelin (a type of lipid found in animal cell membrane), one of the major lipids in the lipid bilayer (thin membrane made up of 2 layers of lipid molecules).
