Water, sugars (carbohydrates), and proteins are non-examples of lipids. Lipids are a distinct class of biological molecules that include fats, phospholipids, and steroids.

What does it mean when a lipid is non-polar?

There isn't exactly something known as a non-polar lipid. A lipid consists of a polar phosphate 'head' and a non-polar hydrocarbon 'tail'. When something is 'polar', it means that that the charges between a compound aren't shared equally. For example, in water (H2O), H has a slightly positive charge while O has a slightly negative charge. Since the 'head' of the lipid is polar, it attracts H2O molecules and so it is hydrophilic. On the other hand, the 'tail' of the lipid is non-polar, hence it is hydrophobic.

What can you conclude from the level of lipid solubility in organic solvents?

Another term for organic solvent is non polar solvent, because it dissolves non polar molecules. A lipid is also a fatty acid as it contains both a charged polar 'head' and a non polar 'tail'. This polar head will tend to interfere with the tail's dissolving in organic solvents, so the longer the non polar tail [to overcome this] of a lipid the greater its solubility.


Where can you find examples of non-polar molecules in cells?

Non-polar molecules in cells can be found primarily in cellular membranes, where phospholipids form a bilayer with hydrophobic (non-polar) tails that exclude water and polar substances. Additionally, non-polar molecules such as cholesterol and certain lipids play crucial roles in membrane fluidity and structure. Other examples include lipid-soluble vitamins and hormones, which can easily pass through cell membranes due to their non-polar nature.
