Triglycerides do not dissolve in water because they are nonpolar molecules, while water is a polar solvent. The lack of polarity in triglycerides means they do not interact favorably with water molecules, which are attracted to each other due to their polar nature. This results in triglycerides being hydrophobic, leading them to separate from water rather than mix with it.

Can lipids dissolve in blood plasma?

Yes, lipids can dissolve in blood plasma. However, since blood is mostly water, lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides typically require carrier molecules called lipoproteins to travel in the bloodstream. Lipoproteins help transport lipids through the aqueous environment of the blood.


Are triglycerides polar or non-polar?

Yes. Like carbohydrates, lipids also contain oxygen, hydrogen and carbon. But unlike COH, they have much fewer oxygen atoms. As a result lipids are said to be saturated with hydrogen atoms making the bonds between atoms non polar convalent. This means that lipids do not disolve in water. This property is know as being hydrophobic
