Answer to Problem 1CE

Lipids are insoluble in water, while protein, carboxylic acid and nucleic acid are soluble in water.

Explanation of Solution

A lipid is a compound which is made up of an alcohol and one or more carboxylic acids. Lipids are found in fats and vegetable oils. Fats and oil are formed by the esters of glycerol. Fats and oils are insoluble in water; therefore, lipids are insoluble in water.

Proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acid are water soluble compounds.

Therefore, a lipid differs from a protein, carbohydrate and nucleic acid by its insolubility in water.

Conclusion

A lipid is not soluble in water while protein, carboxylic acid and nucleic acid are water soluble compounds.
