lipids are aliphatic, the lipid head in hydrphillic the carbon tails are hydrophobic. lipids contain both polar and non-polar qualities, head is polar the lipid tails are non-polar

Are lipids polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar or polar
What example of a lipid which is both polar and non polar?
A type of lipid molecule with polar and non polar regions are phospholipids. Phospholipids are a class of lipids that are a major component of all cell membranes as they can form lipid bilayers.
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
What are lipids with polar heads and nonpolar tails called?
phospholipids
What is the molecule that is made up of polar region with two nonpolar fatty acid tails?
phosphilpids
What is the difference between polar lipids and non polar lipids?
Polar lipids form bilayers spontaneously in water while non-polar lipids face towards the "non-polar" side of the cell being non water-soluble.
Do you have polar lipids?
no
Which lipids are polar?
There are 4 classes of lipids. Neutral fats, phospholipids, steroids, and eicosanoids. Phospholipids are polar.
Are lipids polar or nonpolar?

What are lipids solububle in?
Lipids are soluble in non-polar solvents
What prevents lipids mixing with water?
Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.
What prevents lipids frommixing with water?
Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.
How can lipids be distinguished from sugar?
Lipids are mostly nonpolar, while sugars are polar.
What is something with non polar molecules?
Lipids are soluble in non polar solvents
Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
How are Lipids made soluble?
Lipids tend to be hydrophobic, that is they "fear" water. they are soluble in oil or non-polar solvents
