How do carbohydrates differ from lipids?
Carbohydrates have many polar
Carbohydrates
A typical carbohydrate is glucose,
Most carbohydrates are hydrophilic and soluble in water because of their polar
Lipids
Lipids are hydrophobic and insoluble in water.
They have varied structures, but all have a polar "head" and a large nonpolar "tail"".
Fats and oils are typical lipids.
The structure of a typical fat is
The molecule is mostly nonpolar hydrocarbon with some polar

Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen make up carbohydrates, whereas lipids are also organic molecules that are mostly made up of carbon and hydrogen plus a small amount of oxygen. Carbohydrates are mostly used as a source of energy, whereas lipids are used for energy storage, as well as being structural elements of cell membranes and signaling molecules. Carbohydrates are made up of sugars, starches, and fibers, whereas lipids are made up of fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
