What are lipids of large molecules?

Lipids are fats, or to be technical, they are non-polar organic molecules. They do form large molecules but they do not polymerize.


Are lipids polar molecules?

no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules


Lipids are what type of molecules?

Fat molecules


Are lipids organic or inorganics?

Lipids are organic molecules that are naturally occurring and they are insoluble in water.


What type of molecules are phospholipids?

lipids


Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

Lipids are hydrophobic. This quality means that they repel water rather than draw it in.


Do lipids cause molecules to change?

Yes, lipids can interact with other molecules and cause changes in their structure or function. For example, lipids can form cell membranes that influence the permeability of a cell to various molecules or participate in signaling pathways that trigger cellular responses.

Do lipids have nitrogen?

No, lipids do not contain nitrogen. Lipids are organic molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Nitrogen is not a component of lipids.


Lipis are what molecules because they have no negative and positive molecules?

Lipids are nonpolar molecules because they have a long hydrophobic tail that does not interact with water molecules. This absence of charged regions makes lipids insoluble in water.


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.
