Explanation / Answer

1. Tryacylglycerol.

Tryacylglycerol are formed from glycerol and fatty acids. It is hydrophobic and not amphipathic and is storable form of lipid. TAG are stored in adipose.

2. Glycerolipids. It has polar groups e.g. Phosphate and are amphipathic in nature. Due to its amphipathic nature it is structural component in lipid bilayer.

3. Steroid hormones - these are hydrophobic in nature and can pass easily through membrane hydrophobic parts. Like testosterone and estrogen. These are hormones responsible and involved in many components for sexual development.
