Abstract
This puzzle embeds 37 names, terms, prefixes and acronyms about lipid chemistry in a 17 x 13-letter matrix. A descriptive narrative with underlined spaces to be filled gives clues to the terms a student needs to find. When all are found, the 16 unused letters complete a sentence that describes a major function of these biochemicals. It is suitable for any undergraduate or graduate course where lipid chemistry and basic metabolism are studied.
