Yes. Like carbohydrates, lipids also contain oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. But unlike COH, they have much fewer oxygen atoms. As a result lipids are said to be saturated with hydrogen atoms making the bonds between atoms non polar convalent. This means that lipids do not disolve in water. This property is know as being hydrophobic
