Describe how the functions of lipids differ from the functions of proteins

Lipids are  fat,play multiple roles in the body. Fats are broken down in the digestive tract to form individual fatty acids and cholesterol molecules. Fatty acids and cholesterol are key components of the membranes that surround all cells
