Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Sweat is not the only source of lipids found in fingerprints, however. Sebaceous glands on your face and scalp secrete an oily sub- stance known as SEBUM, which keeps your skin waterproof. ... Many factors can contribute to the quality of a fingerprint left behind.
