any of a group of organic compounds including the fats, oils, waxes, sterols, and triglycerides. Lipids are characterized by being insoluble in water, and account for most of the fat present in the human body. They are, however, soluble in nonpolar organic solvents
a viscous liquid derived from petroleum, especially for use as a fuel or lubricant.
petroleum
any of various viscous liquids which are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents and are obtained from animals or plants
a liquid preparation used on the hair or skin as a cosmetic
any of a group of natural esters of glycerol and various fatty acids, which are liquid at room temperature.
oil paint
an oil painting
information or facts
lubricate, coat, or impregnate with oil
supply with oil as fuel
any of a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids.
Any one of a great variety of unctuous combustible substances, more viscous than and not miscible with water; as, olive oil, whale oil, rock oil, etc. They are of animal, vegetable, or mineral origin and of varied composition, and they are variously used for food, for solvents, for anointing, lubrication, illumination, etc. By extension, any substance of an oily consistency; as, oil of vitriol.
To smear or rub over with oil; to lubricate with oil; to anoint with oil.
Any of a variety of oily or greasy organic compounds found as major structural components of living cells; they are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol and ether, and include the common fats, cholesterol and other steroids, phospholipids, sphingolipids, waxes, and fatty acids; some of the lipids, together with proteins and carbohydrates, form an essential structural component of living cells, as in the cell walls and membranes. The term lipid refers to its solubility in nonpolar solvents, and has no significance with regard to chemical structure.
