Difference between Lipid and Lipid bilayer

Lipid vs. Lipid bilayer

In biology and biochemistry, a lipid is a biomolecule that is soluble in nonpolar solvents. The lipid bilayer (or phospholipid bilayer) is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules.

Carbohydrate

A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words, with the empirical formula (where m may be different from n).
