A lipid is not soluble in water. Lipids are hydrophobic which means they repel water. For example think of a oil tanker spill the oil is a lipid and it floats on top of the water.
oil
No, olive oil is not a starch. Olive oil is a fat or lipid.
Lipids can be dissolved in alcohol based liquids like ethanol
No.they do not mix with water.

The lipid glycerol is soluble in both water and ether. Olive oil is soluble in ether, but not water. A solid lipid is insoluble in water, methanol, and ether.
Lipid
Vegetable oil is denser then water, so it floats on top. Oil is also a lipid, which is hydrophobic, meaning it does not like water. They do not mix.
A lipid is a compound that is insoluble (unable to be dissolved) in water but can be dissolved in other nonpolar solvents. The category of lipids includes oil, fat and wax. A lipid droplet is a small amount of that compound.
oil
Yes, any wax or oil is a lipid.
no. oil is not a carbohydrate, its a lipid.
No oils are hydrophobic due to lipid structures (seen as bubbles) when mixed with water.
A fat or an oil
no.
The drug has to be water soluble to dissolve as gastrointestinal fluid is aqueous. The drug also has to be oil soluble as only the lipid soluble non-ionized form can readily diffuse across the lipid membrane.
