No. Because the polar hydroxyls of glycerol and the polar carboxylates of the fatty acids are bound in ester linkages, triglycerides are nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules, that are essentially insoluble in water.

In what form are dietary lipids found?
triglycerides
Are Triglycerides in plants?
Yes, triglycerides can be found in plants. All plants contain oils, or fats, and these can be found mainly in their seeds.
Is oil amphiphilic?
No! Hydrophilic means it is water soluable. Oil (fat) is not soluable in water, so is hydrophobic.
A common lipid for energy storage is?
triglycerides
Do phospholipids contain polar tails and nonpolar head groups?
The compound with both a non-polar tail and a polar head is called an amphiphilic molecule. An amphiphilic molecule can form micelles. These such micelles is how detergents dissolve dirt. A big example of micelles are phospholipids.
What are amphiphilic polymers?
Amphiphilic polymers are heterogeneous with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts.
Are bile salts polar or non-polar?
they are both-amphiphilic
Is the following molecule hydrophilic hydrophobic or amphipathic amphiphilic?
Yes, it is correct.
In what form are dietary lipids found?
triglycerides
What the difference between saturated triglycerides and unsaturated?
Saturated triglycerides have more hydrogen's than unsaturated triglycerides.
Is acepromazine a cationic amphiphilic drug?
Most likely, yes. It has a weakly-basic amine head group (cationic-hydrophilic) and a heterocyclic tail group that would be expected to give hydrophobic character to the molecule, making the molecule both cationic and amphiphilic.
Triglycerides are classified by what?
The shape, length, and saturation of the fatty acids are ways that triglycerides are classified. Triglycerides are classified as a fat.
What are Triglycerides elements?
Triglycerides contain C, H, O.
Approximately what percentage of the lipids in foods are triglycerides?
95 percentage of the lipids in foods are triglycerides.
Most of the fat found in the human body is in the form of what?
triglycerides
What organ is tested for triglycerides?
A blood test is used to measure triglycerides.
Are triglycerides vegan?
Triglycerides can be obtained from both vegetable and animal sources.
