Detailed explanation-1: -Lipids are a naturally occurring group of substances that are not soluble in water but are freely soluble in organic solvents.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
