Answer:

because lipids are insoluble in trichloroacetic acid.. and therefore get filtered out in acid insoluble pool of tissue.

Explanation:

lipids have molecular weight in a range of 18 Dalton to 800 Dalton, which means they belong to micromolecular fraction of the tissue..

but lipids are the exception of acid insoluble fraction (they have molecular weights ranging to 10000 Dalton).

lipids are water insoluble therefore don't dissolve in the CCl3COOH (Trichloroacetic acid). therefore they get separated in macromolecular fraction.
