This image shows 2 common types of lipids (fats/oil) which do NO dissolve in water (they are hydrophobic!). The black spheres are carbon, white is hydrogen and red is oxygen. Notice both molecules are mostly 3 long chains of carbons and hydrogen only (no oxygen) with a few positive and negative charges at one end (because of the oxygen)

Pick the best explanation for why lipids do NOT dissolve in water.
