What does LIPID mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
Any of a broad group of naturally occurring fatty or oily organic compounds that do not dissolve in water, including fats, oils, waxes, and steroids.
Lipids serve many roles in living organisms, forming the flexible membranes that enclose cells, storing energy for later use, and acting as chemical messengers such as certain hormones. Because lipids repel water, they separate from watery fluids inside the body and must be carried by special transport molecules through the bloodstream. Doctors often measure blood lipid levels, including cholesterol and triglycerides, as an indicator of heart health.
