Some molecules such as triglycerides, fatty acids, steroids, and cholesterol don't dissolve in water because of their molecular structure. They do, however, dissolve in fat. Any toxic chemical with this type of molecular structure would tend to dissolve in fat, not in water.

Some toxic chemicals are lipophilic, meaning they are attracted to and have an affinity for fats and lipids. This allows them to easily dissolve in body fats, where they can accumulate and persist for long periods of time. Once stored in body fats, these chemicals can potentially cause harm by disrupting normal cellular functions.
Fats dissolve in non-polar solvents such as ether, chloroform, and benzene. These solvents have similar non-polar characteristics to fats, allowing them to mix and dissolve together.
Yes it will dissolve in water!!!!1
The shell of M&M's is made of sugar and food coloring which can dissolve in water. The chocolate, which contains fats and cocoa solids, does not dissolve in water because fats are not water-soluble.
Yes, chemical reactions can have various effects on living things. Some reactions are essential for life processes, such as metabolism and energy production, while others can be harmful and toxic. It is important to understand the specific chemicals involved and their concentrations to assess the impact on living organisms.
The stomach mixes chemicals with the food you eat to help break it down into smaller particles. This process, aided by stomach acid and enzymes, begins the digestion process by breaking down proteins and fats.
