Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The physical property which distinguishes a lipid from a protein, carbohydrate, and nucleic acid is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Lipids are the organic compounds, which are fatty acids or the derivatives of fatty acids. They are insoluble in water but are soluble in non-polar organic solvents. Membranes are made up of lipids.

Answer to Problem 1CE

The physical property which distinguishes a lipid from a protein, carbohydrate, and nucleic acid is solubility.

Explanation of Solution

On the basis of solubility, a lipid can be distinguished from a protein, carbohydrate, and nucleic acid. The compounds, protein, carbohydrate and nucleic acid are soluble in water, whereas, lipids are not soluble in water.

Conclusion

Solubility is that physical property on the basis of which distinguishes a lipid from a protein, carbohydrate, and nucleic acid.
