Question

One difference between carbohydrates and lipids is that

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Carbohydrates will dissolve in water but not lipids

Explanation:

Both carbohydrates and lipids have oxygen, carbon and hydrogen molecules in their compositions.

However, the difference is that carbohydrates are polar and lipids are nonpolar. Nonpolar substances can only be dissolved in nonpolar solvents and so they are insoluble in water (which is polar). Compounds with this feature are called hydrophobic.

Answer 2

Lots of differences, but here's one: Carbohydrates are more rapidly transformed by the body into energy than lipids are. As a result, carbohydrates have a more pronounced impact on insulin levels than lipids do.
