What property do all lipids share?
There all hydrophobic,meaning water fearing.They are nonpolar, which means they do not dissolve in water.
What elements are found in most lipid molecules?
Lipids are large organic molecules or "macromolecules." Due to their association with dietary fat, lipids won't win many popularity contests. But lipids are important for more than growing waistlines. Lipids function in energy storage, cell membrane structure, protection of living surfaces and chemical signaling. Lipids are different from most other biological molecules in that they are hydrophobic, meaning that they don't dissolve in water. This property is why the salad oil in your refrigerator separates into an oil layer and a vinegar layer (vinegar is mostly water). The major types of lipids are fats, oils, waxes, steroids and phospholipids, which make up cell membranes.
Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophobic?
All Lipids are hydrophobic: that's the one property they have in common. This group of molecules includes fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, steroids and cholesterol.
What accounts for the grease spots in lipids?
Some lipids do have grease spots and some lipids do not have grease spots. The lipids that get them typically contain sphingosine or glycerol.
What specific chemical property makes lipids hydrophobic?
Lipid molecules are hydrophobic because they consist of long carbon-hydrocarbon backbones and contain only a small amount of oxygen.
What is the major dietary source for lipids?
organs
In what form are dietary lipids found?
triglycerides
What are 3 classes of dietary lipids?
Neutral fats, Phospholipids, and Steroids.
What Is a property shared by lipids and carbohydrates?
Both provide you energy.
What is the rda of lipids?
The RDA for lipids is expressed as part of the overall dietary RDA for KCals. Lipids are not broken out as an individual source on a daily basis. The daily KCal requirement takes into accout age, gender, climate and level of activity among other things.
What property do all lipids share?

What property of enzymes does protease not working on lipids show?
Enzyme specificity .
What do lacteals transport?
it helps to absorb dietary lipids into the vertebrate lymphatic systems.
When stored at room temperature in loosely capped containers what dietary lipids would turn rancid in the shortest time?
soybean oil
What are tryglicerides?
One of three classes of dietary lipids. Made up of three units of fatty acids and one unit of glycerol.
What makes a balanced diet?
A balanced diet needs lots of fibre and carbohydrates. There are 7 main food groups which make up a balanced diet: - Water - Fibre dietary - Carbohydrates - Lipids - Proteins - Minerals - Vitamins
