Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are non-polar molecules that are not soluble in water due to their hydrophobic nature. They are not attracted to water molecules and instead tend to form aggregates in water. This property makes them hydrophobic and therefore not soluble in water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids are a diverse group of compounds that are united by a common feature. Lipids are hydrophobic (“water-fearing”), or insoluble in water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids tend to be hydrophobic, nonpolar, and made up mostly of hydrocarbon chains, though there are some variations on this, which we’ll explore below. The different varieties of lipids have different structures, and correspondingly diverse roles in organisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -The answer is e) All statements about lipids are correct. They are all hydrophobic which means that they are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water.
Detailed explanation-5: -Lipids are compounds that are insoluble in water but are soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform.
