- Lipids have applications in the cosmetic and food industries, and in nanotechnology.

Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lipid article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
