The correct answer is option (D) Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which are polar.
Lipids are organic compounds made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A glycerol is a organic molecule with three hydroxyl groups and a fatty acid consists of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxyl group.
Lipids are hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules with no charge on their ends. Waxes are long chain nonpolar lipids. The water repelling property of the waxes prevent the water sticking to it and appear as water beads on its surface. The hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of the fatty acids are hydrophobic in nature making them repel water. The presence of wax on the surface of the plants and animals protects them from dehydration.
Thus, the nonpolar property of lipids make it insoluble in the polar solvents like water as there is no interaction or sharing of electrons between them.
the importance of this procedure is to get a set of data to compare your other test results to, like when they are active
2, because a theory is not a law that can not be changed, and new evidence can change a theory.
Answer:
The act of carefully watching or examining a person or object when something is happening is known as an observation. An act of deriving rational conclusion from known facts or circumstances is called inference. ... On the other hand, the inference is an explanation or assumption of what one has perceived or seen.
