Ans.

Plant waxes include complex compounds of alcohols, carbohydrates, acids, esters, hydrocarbons, and their combinations, present at the outside of epidermal cells. These waxes are strongly hydrophobic in nature and act as water repellents.

Thus, they provide protection to the aquatic plants against surface wetting. In land plants, waxes, present in cuticle prevent water loss, such as in dessert plants. Other functions of waxes include energy-storage, self-cleaning and reflection of UV radiation.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Lipids are a class of organic compounds, which suits best under the column macromolecules on the hierarchy of biological organization.  

Biological organization refers to the hierarchy of composite biological systems and compositions, which illustrate life using a reductionistic method. The conventional hierarchy moves from an atom to more complex biospheres.  

Each of the level in the hierarchy signifies an enhancement in the organizational complexity, with each component being mainly comprised of the previous basic unit level.
