What is the type of biochemical that does not dissolve in water?
Lipids Lipids
Can lipids dissolve in blood plasma?
Plasma is mostly water, so no, lipids don't usually dissolve.
Why don't lipids and water mix together?
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.
What characteristic is in all lipids?
An important feature that all lipids have in common with one another is they are hydrophobic structures.
Which of macromolecules cannot dissolve in water?
Lipids are not dissolving,. They have a hydrophobic part
Do lipids dissolve water?
No. Lipids do not dissolve in water.

Lipids dissolve in?
Water
Why water cant mix with lipids?
Lipids are fat molecules, like solid oils. They contain lots of carbon atoms, so they cannot dissolve because the molecules do not break apart in water.
Can lipids dissolve in blood plasma?
Plasma is mostly water, so no, lipids don't usually dissolve.
A unique thing about lipids is that they?
Do not dissolve in water
What will lipids dissolve in?
Most lipids may dissolve in hydrophobic, oily, apolar solvents like oil, benzene, chloroforme and octanol.

What characteristic is in all lipids?
An important feature that all lipids have in common with one another is they are hydrophobic structures.
What property do all lipids share?
There all hydrophobic,meaning water fearing.They are nonpolar, which means they do not dissolve in water.
Which of macromolecules cannot dissolve in water?
Lipids are not dissolving,. They have a hydrophobic part
What do you conclude about the solubility of lipids in polar solvents such as water?
Lipids are non-polar molecules that DO NOT usually dissolve in water but DO usually dissolve in organic solvents. Lipids are fat molecule and think about adding eg oil (fat) to water. They don't mix. You always need an emulsifier (eg soap)
