Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.
Lipids Lipids
An important feature that all lipids have in common with one another is they are hydrophobic structures.
Lipids are insoluble, so they will form a layer on top of the water, much like when oil from a spillage will float above the water's surface, as it is less dense than the water. They will not dissolve.
False, lipids are not soluble in water.
Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.
Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.
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.

Lipids do not absorb water
No. Lipids do not dissolve in water.
lipids are waterproof so the water just slides right off.

Sugar water does NOT contain lipids!Unless it is not just sugar water.
lipids show a strong response to water. The tails don't react to water, and the heads "love" water.
