Classification of lipids?

Lipids can be classified into several groups, including fatty acids, glycerolipids (such as triglycerides), glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, sterols (such as cholesterol), and terpenes. They all play various important roles in the body, such as energy storage, cell membrane structure, and signaling molecules.


Is waste solvents flammable but not toxic?

Waste solvents can be both flammable and toxic, depending on their chemical composition. Many solvents, such as acetone or ethanol, are highly flammable, while others may pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact. It's essential to evaluate each solvent individually to determine its specific hazards, as some may be flammable but not significantly toxic, while others may be both. Always follow safety guidelines and regulations when handling waste solvents.


Are solvents a depressant or hallucinogen or stimulant?

Only some organic solvents have a hallucinogen effect.


Are solvents all explosive?

No, not all solvents are explosive. Solvents can vary in their chemical properties and flammability. While some solvents may be flammable or have explosive properties, many solvents are not inherently explosive. It is important to handle all solvents with care and follow appropriate safety procedures.


Why are the compounds classified as lipids?

OK lipids do not suck as answered previously....The compounds called lipids are grouped together because they share one important trait: They have little or no affinity for water. The hydrophobic behavior of lipids is based on their molecular structure. Although they may have some polar bonds associated with oxygen, lipids consist mostly of hydrocarbons. Smaller than true (polymeric) macromolecules, lipids are a highly varied group in both form and function. Lipids include waxes and certain pigments, but we will focus on the most biologically important types of lipids: fats, phospholipids, and steroids.

Why were the lipids miscible in some solvents but not in others?

Lipids are miscible in nonpolar solvents because they have a nonpolar nature due to their hydrophobic tails. The nonpolar solvents can dissolve and interact with the nonpolar lipid molecules. On the other hand, lipids are not miscible in polar solvents as there is a mismatch in polarity, making it difficult for the polar solvent to dissolve the nonpolar lipid molecules.

Rich sources of stored energy that are dissolvable in organic solvents?

Waxes, polymers, and some lipids are examples of organic compounds that store energy and can be dissolved in organic solvents. These substances have high energy content and can be used as fuel sources or raw materials for various industrial processes.


Why are lipids soluble in organic solvents like chloroform?

Fats, as well as organic compounds, are nonpolar substances. Water, however, is a polar substance. Nonpolar substances dissolve nonpolar substances and polar substances dissolve polar substances (like dissolves like) because each are more attracted to molecules of similar structure than of different structure.


Is water in oil?

No, most oil is not soluble in water. Oil is hydrophobic, or "water fearing." This goes for all lipids. There are some water miscible oils but they are rare and typically only used in very specialty situations.


Is benzene and pentane soluble?

Yes, both are non-polar so, both are miscible.


What is the verb form of miscible -- misc?

I learned the hard way that some chemicals are not miscibled. Is this correct, past tense of miscible?

What do all lipids having in common?

At least some portion of the molecule is hydrophobic. A+
