Question

most lipids do not dissolve in water. lipids contain mostly carbon and hydrogen atoms, which form nonpolar carbon–carbon and carbon–hydrogen chemical bonds. as a result, lipids tend to be nonpolar. nonpolar substances do not mix with water, so lipids tend to be hydrophobic, or water - fearing. this image shows corn oil being poured into water. lipids are mostly ▼ in water due to their many ▼ chemical bonds.

Explanation:

From the text, we know lipids do not dissolve in water (hydrophobic) because they have nonpolar carbon - carbon and carbon - hydrogen bonds. So the first blank should be "insoluble" (or "hydrophobic") and the second blank should be "nonpolar".

Answer:

First blank: insoluble (or hydrophobic); Second blank: nonpolar
