Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are compounds that are insoluble in water but are soluble in organic solvents such as ether and chloroform. Lipids that are important to our discussion include fats and oils (triglycerides or triacyglycerols), fatty acids, phospholipids, and cholesterol.
Detailed explanation-2: -Waxes and Oils are lipids, having hydrophobic properties, and are derived from plants and animals. Oil is simply fat with unsaturated fatty acid chains, and is found in liquid form at room temperature.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids. Fats, oils, and waxes are all examples of lipids. There are lots of lipids, but they all share the trait of being at least partially hydrophobic (meaning they won’t mix with water). Water molecules are polar because they have positive and negative ends, rather like little magnets.
Detailed explanation-4: -Waxes are a type of long chain nonpolar lipid. Natural waxes are typically esters of fatty acids and long chain alcohols.
