What are special properties of lipids?
1) they are fat-soluble 2) they are created from fatty acids
What is lipids or fats?
Lipids are broadly defined as molecules that are hydrophobic (insoluble in water) or ampiphilic (possessing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties). Phospholipids are a subgroup of ampiphilic lipids which contain a negatively charged phosphate group.
What is the major characteristic that distinguishes lipids from other macromolecules?
A lipid is a hydrophobic molecule, molecules in this group are fatty acids, waxes, and sterols. A carbohydrate is a hydrophillic molecule and moles cules in this group are sugars: monosaccharides and starches.
What nmacromolecule is not organized in repeating units of monomers?
That are the lipids. They have fatty acids and glucerols
Which macromolecule provides insulation and helps animal conserve heat?
That is the lipids. It is a good insulator.
What are the organic properties of protoplasm?
The organic properties of Protoplasm are protein,carbohydrates,lipids,nucleic acid,enzymes,hormones,vitamins.
What properties of carbon explain carbon?
proteins carbohydrates lipids and nucleic acids

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 are the physical properties of lipids of?
They are insoluble in water, have high energy content, content little amount of inter-molecular water.

Do bio-molecules have common physical and chemical properties?
No. Biomolecules are a diverse group, and do not have common physical and chemical properties. Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleotides, etc. are all different both physically and chemically.
How do properties of lipids help explain the structure of the cell membrane?
Lipids do give cells membranes a flexible structure that forms a strong barrier between the cell and the cell surroundings. Hence, the lipid surrounds the structure which then forms the shape of the cell.
Can bee pollen keep your penis hard?
No.Pollen has no particular magical properties. Nutritionally it is protein with a little carbohydrate and a small amount of lipids (fats).

That are the lipids. They have fatty acids and glucerols
