Lipids are insoluble in water because lipid molecules are:

1. hydrophilic
2. hydrophobic
3. neutral
4. zwitter ions

Correct answer: hydrophobic

Solution

Lipids are mostly nonpolar, so they do not interact favorably with polar water molecules. Because they repel water rather than mix with it, they are insoluble in water.
