B. hydrophobic
C. neutral
D. Zwitter ions

Answer

B

Explanation

Bloor (1943) first time used the term 'lipid' These are the compounds of C,H,O but the ratio of H and O is more than 2:1 that is the ratio of oxygen is lesser as compared to carbohydrates. Lipids are insoluvle in water but soluble in water but soluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene, chloroform, etc. Common lipid occurring in a cell is phospholipid. It contains a hydrophilic (polar) head and a hydrophobic (non-polar) tail.
