Fats and are hydrophobic molecules,
i.e., they are non-polar and in
water. Lipids in general are
with a large non-polar extension and so
they are soluble in non polar solvents,
like benzene, and chloroform.

There are some amphipathic lipids, i.e.,
lipids whose molecules have a
hydrophilic portion, like the
lipids, giving them the property
of being dragged by water, and a
hydro portion (non polar).
