All the lipids are non-polar (they have not positive and negative ions) and are soluble only in non-polar compounds.
They are insoluble in water because water is a polar solvant, but are soluble in organic solvents
All lipids form the covalant bond, in which they share the electrons of their atoms.
In covalent bonding, the electrons cannot be removed from its original shell due to the attraction between the electrons and nucleus, but it is bound to other atom too. and form the bond between these atoms.

Are steriods lipids?
yes, steriods is a form of lipids. lipids aresteroids, which have structures totally different from the other classes of lipids
Do steroids all have ring structures?
lipids.
What Do lipids do for the body?
lipids provide stored energy for your body, are part of cells, and make hormone structures
Lipids which are used to store energy and cushion structures are called?
Triglycerides
Are lipids similar to water molecules?
Lipids are hydrophobic or ambiphilic small molecules. In water, hydrophobic lipids such as oils and fats clump up and separate from the water. In water, ambiphilic lipids such as phospholipids form bilayer structures; the body of living creatures uses these bilayer structures to form cell membranes and vesicles.
What is membrence?
A membrane is a microscopic double layer of lipids and proteins that forms structures within cells.
Do lipids link together to form carbohydrates?
No, lipids and carbohydrates have completely different structures and cannot combine to produce one another. Complex carbohydrates are produced by linking monosaccharides (glucose) while lipids are produced by linking fatty acids.
What characteristic is in all lipids?
An important feature that all lipids have in common with one another is they are hydrophobic structures.
Compare the structures and functions of the biomolecules lipids and starches?
Lipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Starches are composed of monosaccharides. In lipids you find less number of oxygen than in carbohydrates. Therefore, lipids give you twice as much energy as carbohydrate. Lipids constitute the bilayer, which is not the case with starch.
What different foods represent the different structures of organelles?
Water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, salts, ions and vitamins.
Which macromolecules surrounds and protect internal organs?
Plasma membrane protects cellular structures. They are made up of lipids
Why are fats an essential part of the protoplasm?
Fats -or lipids- are in charge of holding microscopic structures together so that they do not collapse in on themselves.
