Oils and fats dissolve in other fats and oils, as they are non-polar molecules. They do not dissolve in water, which is a polar molecule.
Non-polar molecules such as fats, oils, and cholesterol are hydrophobic molecules that consist mostly of carbon and hydrogen atoms. These molecules do not have a significant electric charge distribution, making them insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar solvents.
well im not 100% sure, but i know that water is polar, and only other polar things can dissolve into it. fats, i.e. cholesterol, are not soluble in water, and therefore must be nonpolar. ALSO, cholesterol is made up of four hydrocarbon rings. hydrocarbon rings, obviously, are made of hydrogen and carbon. (side note - polar compounds are formed when the difference of electromagnetivity - how much the element attracts electrons - between the elements causes an imbalance in the direction of attraction). the difference in electromagnetivity between those two elements is too little to be considered a polar molecule.
Fitilatalable Cholesterol
ATP adenosine-tri-phosphate
A good low cholesterol diet includes one which is limited in trans-fats and saturated fats. The diet will also include a lot of whole grains, vegetables and fruits.
Unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, Lowers your bad cholesterol LDL
Fats, oils, and cholesterol are all types of Lipids.
Fats, oils, and cholesterol are all types of Lipids.
saturated fats
Non-polar substances like oil and fats are least likely to dissolve in water because water is a polar molecule while oil and fats are non-polar. This difference in polarity leads to low solubility between the two.
Unsaturated fats typically is associated with lowering "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and raising "good" cholesterol (HDL)
