How lipids react to water?
lipids show a strong response to water. The tails don't react to water, and the heads "love" water.
Why is important to know if a drug is water or lipid soluble?
Water and lipids (fat) react differently in the body. The lipids are stored by the body and the water is absorbed into the body. Certain drugs and conditions may interfere with the ability to absorb them and to much of them can cause illness.
Do lipids dissolve water?
No. Lipids do not dissolve in water.
What prevents lipids frommixing with water?
Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.
Does distilled water contain lipids?
No, distilled water does not contain lipids. Distilled water is water that has been purified through a process of heating and condensation, which removes impurities, including lipids. Lipids are nonpolar molecules that are not soluble in water.
Lipids in water?
Lipids are insoluble, so they will form a layer on top of the water, much like when oil from a spillage will float above the water's surface, as it is less dense than the water. They will not dissolve.
What is the type of biochemical that does not dissolve in water?
Lipids Lipids
How does sugar water contain lipids?
Sugar water does NOT contain lipids!Unless it is not just sugar water.
Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Lipids are hydrophobic. This quality means that they repel water rather than draw it in.
Lipids are water avoiding or hydrophobic compounds is true or fals?
True. Lipids are hydrophobic compounds that do not mix well with water.
When lipids and water are mixed are water molecules isolate themselves into droplets?
This is possible only if the ratio of lipid is massive to the ratio of water. However, this is usually not the case. In most cases, when lipids and water are mixed, the hydrophobic properties of the lipids cause the lipids to coalesce at the top of the water without mixing, because that lipids are less dense than water.
What characteristic is in all lipids?
An important feature that all lipids have in common with one another is they are hydrophobic structures.
