Yes. Like carbohydrates, lipids also contain oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. But unlike COH, they have much fewer oxygen atoms. As a result lipids are said to be saturated with hydrogen atoms making the bonds between atoms non polar convalent. This means that lipids do not disolve in water. This property is know as being hydrophobic
Triglycerides are just fats, which have both nonpolar and polar parts. The areas with carbon-oxygen bonds are fairly polar, while the carbon-hydrogen bonded areas are nonpolar. Since there are extensive chains of carbon-hydrogen bonds in triglycerides, they are generally nonpolar and don't dissolve in water, a polar liquid. As the saying goes, "like dissolves like," and hence, nonpolar substances dissolve in nonpolar substances, polar in polar. In the case of water, you'll often hear of triglycerides and fats having "hydrophobic" tails, which refer to their hydrocarbon chains, and "hydrophilic" heads, which refer to their oxygen-carbon groups. The hydrophilic heads of triglycerides dissolve in water, but the hydrophobic tails do not.
Triglyceride is both polar and nonpolar its head is polar and its tail is non polar.
No. Glycerol is polar, but once the three fatty acids are added (in triglycerides) it becomes non polar.
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.
