The appropriate response is water. An assortment of substances that are not dissolvable in polar solvents, for example, water, but rather will break up in nonpolar solvents, for example, benzene and chloroform. Lipids incorporate triglycerides, phospholipids, steroids, and waxes. 
Fats and lipids are extensive natural atoms which are utilized for vitality stockpiling and which make up the which make up the lipid bilayer of the plasma film of cells. Lipids have hydrophobic tails which are made out of chains of hydrocarbons and hydrophilic heads which are made out of a carboxyl gathering.

  • They are insoluble in polar solvents such as water. This is because being non-polar molecules then they can not dissolve in polar solvents due to the presence of non-polar region which brings about hydrophobic effect.
  • They are highly soluble in non-polar solvents such as chloroform, benzene and acetone.  This is because of large non-polar regions or hydrophobic regions  in lipid molecules.
<h3>Functions of Lipids. </h3>
  1. Production of energy and storage
  2. Insulation and protection; through the layer of fat known as adipose tissue below the skin.
  3. Structural components, such as cell wall structure

How do the products of meiosis compare with the original cell? Think about chromosome number.
tatyana61 [14]
Well the offspring of the original cell are considered daughter cells (as they all reproduce) so with the knowledge I know when the cell doubles it’s going to look exactly like the mother cell and not just look but they all have the same job, which is to multiple. So I think that might be the answer. But if it’s multiple choice then I might be wrong because you didn’t provide any options.
