Why are lipids insoluble in water?
Lydia AdamsLipids, which include fats and oils are non-polar and hydrophobic.
Because they only contain carbon-carbon and hydrogen-carbon bonds, non-polar substances like fats and oils cannot dissolve in water. Only polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents.

Luna CruzLipids are insoluble in water because they consist mainly of nonpolar hydrocarbon chains, which do not interact favorably with water molecules, which are polar. This difference in polarity prevents lipids from dissolving in water.

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.
