There are different types of lipids which include:

- Fatty Acids 
- Triacylglycerides
- Isoprenoids 
- Sterols
- Phospholipids

Diversity of Lipids

Lipids are macromolecules that are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.  Lipids are typically hydrophobic, nonpolar, and composed of hydrocarbon chains.

Macromolecules

Carbohydrates are macromolecules that are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the ratio C:2H:0.  

Carbohydrates

Lipids

Proteins are macromolecules that are composed of subunits called amino acids When the number of amino acids linked together becomes very large, or when multiple polypeptides are used as building subunits,

Proteins

Nucleic acids are macromolecules that are composed of subunits called nucleotides.  They are responsible for the transfer of genetic information from an organism's genome and turning it into proteins.  Nucleic acids exist in two forms:

- deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
- ribonucleicacid (RNA)

Nucleic acids are built using nitrogen, and thus need a nitrogen source to undergo nitrogen fixation
