Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are hydrophobic means water hating. They are water insoluble. Lipids are non-polar molecules while water is polar molecule, so there is no way for water to attach to a lipid molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids are chemical substances that are nonpolar in nature. Because water is a polar molecule, they are only soluble in nonpolar solvents and insoluble in water. These molecules can be produced in the human body and are found in oil, butter, whole milk, cheese, fried meals, and some red meats.
Detailed explanation-3: -Most lipids are non-polar (having no charged areas) or only slightly polar, with a very few charged areas. Water mixes with hydrophilic (water-loving) compounds by sticking to their charged groups. Since lipids lack charged groups, the water molecules have nothing to stick to and don’t mix with them.
