Question

Which type of biochemical does this diagram represent?

lipid
nucleic acid
carbohydrate
protein

Answer 1

Lipid

Step-by-step explanation:

• Lipid is a fatty acid with long aliphatic (organic) chains that can either be saturated or unsaturated.
• As you can see in the picture the structure has 3 long carbon chains which means it is a lipid.

Answer 2

Option (Lipid).

Step-by-step explanation:

Lipids are a class of biomolecules, made up of a glycerol molecule, which remains bonded to the long hydrocarbon chain and some other molecules, depending upon the type of lipid molecule.

The structure, shown by bold letters show a glycerol molecule, by which long hydrocarbon chains are attached. Thus, the given diagram represents structure of a lipid molecule.

Thus, the correct answer is option). lipids.
