Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipids are generally hydrophobic, meaning they are not soluble in water. This is due to their nonpolar structure, which does not interact or mix well with the polar water molecules. Instead, lipids are usually soluble in organic solvents, such as alcohol or acetone, which have similar nonpolar properties. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer.
