What is the ratio for lipids?
1:72:1
When lipids and water are mixed do the water molecules isolate themselves into droplets?
This is possible only if the ratio of lipid is massive to the ratio of water. However, this is usually not the case. In most cases, when lipids and water are mixed, the hydrophobic properties of the lipids cause the lipids to coalesce at the top of the water without mixing, because that lipids are less dense than water.

What elements make up lipids and in what ratio?
3:4:3
Lipids are soluble in?
Lipids are soluble in Bloor's regent (Ethanol and Diethyl ether in 1:2 molar ratio).
Do lipids contain less oxygen than carbohydrates?
Yes Lipids contain less oxygen because the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen for carbohydrates is 2:1 while for lipids it varies but let's say its for Lauric acid (CH3C10H20COOH) the ratio is 12 hydrogen for 1 oxygen. So lipids do contain less oxygen than carbohydrates
Why in lipids hydrogen and oxygen is not in the ratio 21?
Because there's no reason that should be true. The definition of "lipid" has nothing to do with the oxygen/hydrogen ratio.
What do amino acids have that fats and carbohydrates do not?
Lipids (that's fats/oils) are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen. Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen oxygen (just in a different ratio to lipids). However, amino acids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, AND nitrogen.
What nmacromolecule is not organized in repeating units of monomers?
That are the lipids. They have fatty acids and glucerols
What excretory product are eliminated through the seed of groundnuts?
LatexM
Are steroids lipids?
No, steroids belong to lipids, but not all lipids are steroids: eg. natural fats or oils are triglyceridic lipids, not steroidic lipids
Which macromolecule provides insulation and helps animal conserve heat?
That is the lipids. It is a good insulator.
