Another simple test to determine if a molecule is a lipid or not is the grease spot test. Lipids leave a translucent spot on paper when they absorb into it due to their hydrophobic nature. This test can help differentiate lipids from other biomolecules that do not leave such spots.

What is the Equation for hydrolysis of a lipid?
The general equation for the hydrolysis of a lipid molecule is: Lipid + water → fatty acid(s) + glycerol
Which part of a phospolipid molecule is hydrophobic?
The lipid tails of a phospholipid molecule are hydrophobic, as they consist of nonpolar fatty acid chains that repel water.
A lipid has three long chains of fatty acids and what else?
A lipid with three long chains of fatty acids also includes a glycerol molecule, which serves as the backbone for attaching the fatty acids. This type of lipid is known as a triglyceride.
What is another term for lipid hydrolysis?
Lipid hydrolysis can also be referred to as lipid breakdown or lipolysis.
Which of the following is not an organic macro-molecule carbohydrate ice lipid nucleic acid?
Ice is not considered an organic macro-molecule. It is a crystalline form of water and does not contain carbon atoms, which are essential for a molecule to be considered organic.
What might be another good test to determine if a molecule is a lipid or not?
Paper Bag test :D
What is a simple fat molecule?
a lipid
Simple experiment determine if white substance is a lipid or carbohydrate?
A Simple experiment to determine if a white substance is a lipid or a carbohydrate is to rub it on a brown paper bag. If it leaves a greasy spot its a lipid.
What molecule is most likely to enter a cell by simple diffusion through the lipid bi-layer?
Try a nonpolar lipid!
How are lipids held together?
Lipids are one of the four major macromolecules but they are NOT true polymers because their individual lipid molecules are NOT connected by covalent bonds. Instead one lipid molecule is connected to another lipid molecule by hydrophobic interactions.
Is a lipid an inorganic molecule?
no. organic molecule
