Question

Which of these is NOT true for lipids?

• A. They help in resistance to cold weather.
• B. They are made up of glucose monomers.
• C. They are insoluble in water.
• D. They provide energy.

Answer 1

The correct option is B They are made up of glucose monomers.

• Glucose polymerizes to form a oligosaccharide or polysaccharide, which are all carbohydrates.
• Lipids are biological molecules that are fatty acids and glycerols and are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids.
• They contribute to buoyancy, act as insulators protecting the body from cold temperatures and provide energy, along with carbohydrates.
