In your body there are specialized cells, lipid or fat cells.

They take in various carbohydrates from the blood

(especially sugar if insulin is present)

and including fatty acids,

and convert them all into lipids

which are stored in the fat cells ... until needed.

What are plant lipids?

Because the lipids in plants are "unsaturated" (double bonds with hydrogen ensure a smaller amount of hydrogens are bonded to the fatty acid), kinks form in the chain. These kinks make the lipids difficult to "pack" and form a solid. For this reason, lipids from plants are usually liquid at room temperature. Usually we refer to them as "oils".

What solvent lipids be least soluble?

Polar solvents like water would be least soluble in lipids because lipids are nonpolar molecules. Lipids are hydrophobic, meaning they do not interact well with water. This is why lipids form structures such as cell membranes to separate their hydrophobic tails from water.
