another substance, while
the ___ is the substance into

being dissolved
They are made mostly of non-polar hydrocarbon
chains. As water is polar, it will only dissolve other polar
Why are lipids insoluble in
or ionically bonded substances. Lipids are non-polar,

and this is why they are insoluble in water but can be
dissolved with nonpolar solvents like alcohol
