What else can I help you with?
Why don't lipids or any sustances mix?
Lipids are hydrophobic, meaning they are repelled by water. As such, they do not mix with water.
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 biological molecule will not mix with water?
Lipids
Lipids are water avoiding or hydrophobic compounds is true or fals?
True. Lipids are hydrophobic compounds that do not mix well with water.
Lipids are hydrophobib what does this mean?
i think you mean lipids are hydrophobic. this means lipids and water don't don't mix. the word hyrophobic itself means "afraid of water"
What prevents lipids frommixing with water?
Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.
Why is water not a good solvent for lipids?
Water molecules are polar, which means the oxygen side of the molecule is more negative, and the hydrogen side is more positive. Lipids are non polar, which means that one side is not more negative than the other. This is why no nonpolar substances dissolve in polar liquids
Water forms what with the most substances execpt for lipids?
Water forms hydrogen bonds with most substances except for lipids. Lipids are nonpolar molecules, so they do not interact with water through hydrogen bonding. This is why lipids are hydrophobic and do not mix well with water.
Is oil water a mixture?
no they cant mix
Is water and oil a mixture?
no they cant mix
Do the lipids you refer to as oils have high water content?
No, lipids such as oils do not have high water content. Oils are hydrophobic substances, which means they do not mix well with water and therefore have very low water content.
What group of organic molecules does not dissolve in water?
Lipids, such as fats and oils, do not dissolve in water because they are nonpolar molecules. Water is a polar molecule, and oil is nonpolar, so they are not compatible and do not mix. This property of lipids is essential for their function in the body, such as forming cell membranes and storing energy.
