Explanation:
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: -The answer is e) All statements about lipids are correct. They are all hydrophobic which means that they are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water.
