All the following statements regarding lipids will be true EXCEPT:
1. Phospholipids contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions, creating amphipathic properties.
2. Saturated fatty acids lack double bonds, while unsaturated fatty acids contain one or more double bonds.
3. All lipid molecules demonstrate high solubility in aqueous solutions due to their polar characteristics.
4. Triglycerides consist of glycerol molecules esterified with three fatty acid chains.

Arrange the following steps in the correct sequence for the analytical procedure used to separate and identify biomolecules from living tissue samples:
1. Grinding tissue sample in trichloroacetic acid using mortar and pestle.
2. Straining the mixture through cheesecloth to obtain filtrate and retentate.
3. Weighing fresh tissue sample to determine wet weight.
4. Analysing separated fractions for different molecular components.
Choose the correct chronological sequence:
1. 3 → 1 → 2 → 4 2. 1 → 3 → 4 → 2
3. 2 → 1 → 3 → 4 4. 3 → 2 → 1 → 4
