The difference between carbohydrates and lipid is that <u>carbohydrates can dissolve in water but lipids cannot.</u>
Further Explanation:
Carbohydrate are biomolecules, contain mainly three atom hydrogen,carbon and oxygen. These are polar molecule which has polar hydroxyl group and makes a hydrogen bond with water.
Carbohydrates mainly of four type-
• Monosaccharides
• Disaccharides
• Polysaccharides
• Oligosaccharides
Functions of carbohydrates
• Major source of energy
• Store glycogen for fasting
• Water-soluble
• Necessary for proper function of CNS
• Help in the oxidation of fat
Lipids are biomolecule, they also contain three atom carbon(C) hydrogen(H) oxygen(O) linked to glycerol.These are the long sequence of carbon to carbon with hydrogen bonds.Number of hydrogen is low and carbon number is high. Electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is high.Thus, they form lipid a non-polar long chain and they are insoluble in water.
Types of Lipids
• Simple
i. Wax
ii. Oil
iii. Fats
• Complex
i. Glycolipid
ii. Phospholipid
iii. Proteolipids
Function of Lipid
• Store energy
• Precursor for many hormones
• Metabolic fuel
• Part of the cell membrane
• Help in digestion.
Thus, carbohydrates are polar molecule and soluble in water. Lipids are non-polar molecule which is insoluble in water.
