A lipid is not soluble in water. Lipids are hydrophobic which means they repel water. For example think of a oil tanker spill the oil is a lipid and it floats on top of the water.
Urobilinogen is not lipid soluble; it is water-soluble. It is a colorless compound produced in the intestines from the reduction of bilirubin. Being water-soluble allows it to be excreted in urine, where it can be detected in various clinical tests.
Lipid
Phospholipids are the organic molecules in cell membranes that permit the diffusion of lipid-soluble materials. They have a hydrophobic tail that repels water and a hydrophilic head that interacts with water, creating a bilayer structure that allows for the passage of lipid-soluble molecules.
Yes, some vitamins are water-soluble, such as vitamin C and the B vitamins, and are easily absorbed and excreted by the body. Lipid-soluble vitamins, like vitamins A, D, E, and K, are stored in fatty tissues and are better absorbed with dietary fats. Both types are important for overall health and must be obtained through diet or supplements.
false
No, serotonin is not a lipid soluble compound. It is a water-soluble neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating mood, sleep, and appetite.
No, epinephrine is not lipid soluble. It is a water-soluble hormone that acts on G-protein-coupled receptors on the cell surface to exert its physiological effects.
lipid soluable means that it disolves in fat, and water soluable means it disolves in water.
Water
Growth hormone is water soluble. It is a protein hormone that circulates in the blood and interacts with cell surface receptors to exert its effects on growth and metabolism.
The lipid glycerol is soluble in both water and ether. Olive oil is soluble in ether, but not water. A solid lipid is insoluble in water, methanol, and ether.

There are 9 water-soluble vitamins in the Vitamin B Complex: (examples: B6 and B12). Also, there are only 4 lipid - soluble (fat or oil - soluble) vitamins: A, D, E, and K.
Yes, lipid soluble molecules diffuse into a cell more rapidly than water soluble molecules. This is because the cell membrane is primarily made up of lipids, so lipid soluble molecules can easily pass through the lipid bilayer, while water soluble molecules need specific channels or transporters to facilitate their entry into the cell.
Lipids (fat-soluble), they can therefore be administered orally.
Amino acid based hormones such as Human Growth Hormone is an example of water soluble compounds. Steroid hormones and thyroid hormone are examples of lipid soluble compounds in living humans.
