Detailed Solution

Polar hydroxyl groups are only possible in lipids when they are a small portion of a non-polar molecule. Usually as a result of a long hydrocarbon chain.

Every carbon atom in glycerol has a polar hydroxyl group, and it is quite soluble in water.

A lipid is not glycerol. This alcohol is basic.

Lipids include oils, waxes, and cholesterol.
