Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The characteristic that all lipids have in common is that they are nonpolar molecules, which means they do not dissolve 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. Lipids perform many different functions in a cell. Cells store energy for long-term use in the form of lipids called fats.
