HUMAN NUTRITION

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. Instead, the non-polar lipids will bind to themselves, which is why oils and fats form droplets on the surface of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Non-polar molecules do not dissolve well in polar solutions like water; in fact, polar and non-polar molecules tend to repel each other in the same way that oil and water don’t mix and will separate from each other even if they are shaken vigorously in an attempt to mix them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lipids are all insoluble in polar solvents like water but highly soluble in the non-polar or weakly polar organic solvents, including ether, chloroform, benzene, and acetone. In fact, these four solvents are often referred to as “lipid-solvents” or “fat-solvents".

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
