Homework Statement


what is the difference between a steroid molecule, phopholipid, and fat molecule?

Homework Equations


discuss the general difference in their structures

The Attempt at a Solution

phospholipids are asymetrical with a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail
and the other two are symmetrical?

I'm completely lost coz I dropped chemistry after two weeks of it, and now it's come back to haunt me in biology
