Do enzymes or lipids cause molecules to change?
Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy, enabling molecules to change. Lipids, on the other hand, provide structural support in cell membranes and serve as energy storage molecules rather than directly causing molecular changes.
When lipids and water are mixed do the water molecules isolate themselves into droplets?
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.
Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Lipids are hydrophobic. This quality means that they repel water rather than draw it in.
Do lipids have nitrogen?
No, lipids do not contain nitrogen. Lipids are organic molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Nitrogen is not a component of lipids.
Which of the major types of biological molecules does NOT consist of monomers and polymers?
The major type of biological molecules that does not consist of monomers and polymers are Lipids. Although triglycerides are created by the combination of similar molecules, others, steroids, are not.

Do enzyme or lipids cause molecules to change without themselves changing?
Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate chemical reactions without being consumed or altered in the process. They do this by lowering the activation energy required for a reaction to occur. Lipids, on the other hand, do not act as catalysts for chemical reactions and do not cause molecules to change without themselves undergoing changes.
What are lipids of large molecules?
Lipids are fats, or to be technical, they are non-polar organic molecules. They do form large molecules but they do not polymerize.

Are lipids polar molecules?
no they are not, they are nonpolar molecules
Lipids are what type of molecules?
Fat molecules
What molecules change over time in a cancer cell?
All of the functions and molecules of a cell are affected by it's DNA. All of the molecules of a cancerous cell could potentially change. This includes the glycocolyx, the membrane proteins, and lipids.
Are lipids organic or inorganics?
Lipids are organic molecules that are naturally occurring and they are insoluble in water.
Molecules in lipids?
glycerol and fatty acids make up lipids.
What type of molecules are phospholipids?
lipids
Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Lipids are hydrophobic. This quality means that they repel water rather than draw it in.
