QUESTION:

Which of the following compounds are lipids? (a) l-Threonine (b) 1-Octanol (c) Lycopene (d) Trimyristin (e) Palmitic acid (f) d-Glucose (g) Testosterone (h) d-Mannose

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 9

Lipids can vary widely in their organic structure; they do possess one common property: all of them can be extracted into a non-polar solvent. In order to solve this exercise, we’re going to have to judge the polarity of the compounds we‘re given. Polar compounds won‘t dissolve into a non-polar solvent and won’t be classified as a lipid. Nonpolar compounds (those that readily dissolve into a non-polar solvent) will be classi?ed as a lipid.
