Solution

All of the options you provided are major classes of lipids. These include:

  1. Steroids: These are a type of lipid that includes hormones and cholesterol. They have a unique structure that is different from other types of lipids, with four rings of carbon atoms.

  2. Waxes: These are a type of lipid that are esters of long-chain alcohols and fatty acids. They are typically solid at room temperature.

  3. Fatty Acids: These are the building blocks of many lipids and come in two types: saturated and unsaturated. They are long chains of carbon atoms with a carboxyl group at one end.

  4. Non-glyceride lipids: This is a broad category that includes several types of lipids that are not classified as glycerides, including steroids and waxes.

So, all of the options apply.
