Detailed explanation-1: -This is called a “hydrocarbon chain, ‘’ and it is a characteristic all lipids share. The hydrocarbon chain is also what gives lipids their nonpolar property and makes them insoluble in water. The basic structure of a fatty acid is shown in Figure 2.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are lots of lipids, but they all share the trait of being at least partially hydrophobic (meaning they won’t mix with water).
Detailed explanation-3: -Differences: Lipid molecules contain more energy per gram than carbohydrates (about twice as much) Carbohydrates are more readily digested than lipids and release their energy more rapidly. Monosaccharides and disaccharides are water soluble and easier to transport to and from storage sites than lipids.
