Most lipids may dissolve in hydrophobic, oily, apolar solvents like oil, benzene, chloroforme and octanol.

Do lipids dissolve in base?
Yes, i believe lipids do dissolve in bases. Alkalis are soluble bases, and the strongest alkalis (pH14) are found in commercial oven cleaner. Seen as oven cleaners dissolve greases and fats in our ovens, one can assume that lipids dissolve in bases.
What property do all lipids share?
There all hydrophobic,meaning water fearing.They are nonpolar, which means they do not dissolve in water.
What do fat molecules do?
Lipids can do tons of things. They make up the lipid bi-layer in a cell membrane.)Lipids are insoluble by water, so they won't just dissolve) There isn't just one function for lipids.
Why are lipids soaked in ethanol in an emulsion test?
Lipids are soaked in water because they do not dissolve in water but the ethanol will allow the lipid to dissolve such that when diluted the ethanol will fall out of solution to form an emulsion.
What group of organic molecules does not dissolve in water?
A substance that doesn't mix with water is a hydrophobic substance. Common examples would be cooking oil, gasoline, petroleum jelly and wax.
Do lipids dissolve water?
No. Lipids do not dissolve in water.
What is the type of biochemical that does not dissolve in water?
Lipids Lipids
Can lipids dissolve in blood plasma?
Plasma is mostly water, so no, lipids don't usually dissolve.
Lipids dissolve in?
Water
What will lipids dissolve in if the can't dissolve in water?
Fats and oils.
Do lipids dissolve in base?
Yes, i believe lipids do dissolve in bases. Alkalis are soluble bases, and the strongest alkalis (pH14) are found in commercial oven cleaner. Seen as oven cleaners dissolve greases and fats in our ovens, one can assume that lipids dissolve in bases.
A unique thing about lipids is that they?
Do not dissolve in water
What molcule store energy and dissolve vitamins?
lipids
What do lipids repel?
Lipids are hydrophobic, which means they do not dissolve in water. Th characteristic is important because it always lipids to serve as bariers in biological membranes
What characteristic is in all lipids?
An important feature that all lipids have in common with one another is they are hydrophobic structures.
Why don't lipids and water mix together?
Lipids are insoluble, so they will form a layer on top of the water, much like when oil from a spillage will float above the water's surface, as it is less dense than the water. They will not dissolve.
What do you conclude about the solubility of lipids in polar solvents such as water?
Lipids are non-polar molecules that DO NOT usually dissolve in water but DO usually dissolve in organic solvents. Lipids are fat molecule and think about adding eg oil (fat) to water. They don't mix. You always need an emulsifier (eg soap)
