The correct answer is option (D) Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which are polar.
Lipids are organic compounds made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A glycerol is a organic molecule with three hydroxyl groups and a fatty acid consists of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxyl group.
Lipids are hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules with no charge on their ends. Waxes are long chain nonpolar lipids. The water repelling property of the waxes prevent the water sticking to it and appear as water beads on its surface. The hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of the fatty acids are hydrophobic in nature making them repel water. The presence of wax on the surface of the plants and animals protects them from dehydration.
Thus, the nonpolar property of lipids make it insoluble in the polar solvents like water as there is no interaction or sharing of electrons between them.
Answer:
option c. produce their own light.
Answer:
Enzyme Activity- Responsible reactions Enzyme catalyze nearby substrates
Cell to Cell Recognition- Recognize molecules on surface of the other cells
Cell Signalling- A chemical messenger that binds a membrane protein causing to change shape and relay the message inside a cell.
Transport materials- Provides channels for a certain solutes to pass through membrane
The answer would be B. nucleic acids.
