What accounts for the grease spots in lipids?
Grease spots in lipids are due to the hydrophobic nature of lipids, which allows them to repel water and form greasy spots. Lipids have long hydrocarbon chains that are nonpolar and interact with each other more than with water, leading to the formation of these greasy spots.
Why are lipids soaked in ethanol in an emulsion test?
Lipids are soaked in water because they do not dissolve in water but the ethanol will allow the lipid to dissolve such that when diluted the ethanol will fall out of solution to form an emulsion.
What are the two elements lipids are made mostly of?
Lipids are mostly made of hydrogen and carbon atoms. These two elements form the hydrocarbon chains found in lipids, which provide energy storage and structural components in biological systems.
What is a monomer for lipids?
The monomer for a lipid would be 3 fatty acids and a glycerol molecule.
What is the monomers and polymers of lipids?
Lipids do not have monomers and they themselves are the polymer
Do animals store lipids in the form of oil while plants store lipids in the form of fat?
true or false animals store lipids in the form of oil while plants store lipids in the form of fats
Are steriods lipids?
yes, steriods is a form of lipids. lipids aresteroids, which have structures totally different from the other classes of lipids
What is the simplest form of lipids?
saturated
Do lipids form long chain polymers like carbohydrates and proteins?
Lipids do not form polymers.
In what form do lipids enter the cells of the body?
Lipids enter cells in the form of lipoprotein particles. These particles are composed of lipids and proteins and are used to transport lipids across cell membranes. Once inside the cell, lipids can be broken down and utilized for energy or stored for future use.
In what form does an animal store energy?
fats (lipids)
Do lipids form a mono layered cell membrane?
No...
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.
What is the storage form of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in living organisms?
The storage form of carbohydrates is glycogen, proteins are stored as amino acids, and lipids are stored as triglycerides in living organisms.
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".
Is Cholesterol the same as carbohydrates?
No,the difference is that cholestrol is the form of lipids
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.
