Check out our amazing biochemistry quiz designed to test how much you know about lipids. You must have studied fats and lipids in your biochemistry chapters. It's time to check your knowledge regarding the same. Lipids are macro biomolecules that are insoluble in water but soluble in non-polar solvents like alcohol and ether. The following quiz also contains questions related to fats or oils. So, give it a try and expand your memory about lipids.
