One difference between carbohydrates and lipids is that A) Lipids will dissolve in water but not carbohydrates. B) Carbohydrates will dissolve in water but not lipids. C) Carbohydrates contain hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen and lipids do not. Eliminate D) Lipids contain hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen and carbohydrates do not.

The difference between Carbohydrates (sugars) and Lipids: 1) sugars dissolve in water lipids don't. 2) sugars are made-up of subunits that form large polymers and lipids are not and don't form polymers.

The difference between carbohydrates and lipid is that carbohydrates can dissolve in water but lipids cannot.

Further Explanation:

Carbohydrate are biomolecules, contain mainly three atom hydrogen,carbon and oxygen. These are polar molecule which has polar hydroxyl group and makes a hydrogen bond with water.

Carbohydrates mainly of four type-

• Monosaccharides

• Disaccharides

• Polysaccharides

• Oligosaccharides

Functions of carbohydrates

• Major source of energy

• Store glycogen for fasting

• Water-soluble

• Necessary for proper function of CNS

• Help in the oxidation of fat

Lipids are biomolecule, they also contain three atom carbon(C) hydrogen(H) oxygen(O) linked to glycerol.These are the long sequence of carbon to carbon with hydrogen bonds.Number of hydrogen is low and carbon number is high. Electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is high.Thus, they form lipid a non-polar long chain and they are insoluble in water.

Types of Lipids

• Simple

i. Wax

ii. Oil

iii. Fats

• Complex

i. Glycolipid

ii. Phospholipid

iii. Proteolipids

Function of Lipid

• Store energy

• Precursor for many hormones

• Metabolic fuel

• Part of the cell membrane

• Help in digestion.

Thus, carbohydrates are polar molecule and soluble in water. Lipids are non-polar molecule which is insoluble in water.
