Lipids are not easily dissolved in water. Lipids are hydrophobic (water-repellent) substances, meaning they do not mix well with water.
False.
Lipids are not easily dissolved in water. They are hydrophobic, meaning they do not mix well with water. Lipids are composed of nonpolar molecules, such as fatty acids, which repel water molecules. As a result, lipids tend to aggregate and form droplets or layers when mixed with water. This is why oil droplets in water do not easily dissolve or mix together.
