Question

What are the components of a lipid?

a. Lipids are made of made of carbons bound to hydrogen and oxygen groups; these often form high-energy ring structures
b. Lipids are made of long chains of carbons bound to hydrogens, called hydrocarbons
c. Lipids are made of carbons bound to hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous groups; these are often bound into single and double-ring structures
d. Lipids are made of carbons bound to hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen groups; the unequal sharing of electrons around the oxygen (carboxyl) and nitrogen (amino) groups cause the molecule to fold up on itself and form different shapes that affect the function of the molecule in the living organism

Answer 1

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

Lipids are made of carbons bound to hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen groups; the unequal sharing of electrons around the oxygen (carboxyl) and nitrogen (amino) groups cause the molecule to fold up on itself and form different shapes that affect the function of the molecule in the living organism.
