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.
Don’t know sorry I wish I could help but I have no clue
When insulin is deficient , GLUT4 transporters are not inserted into the cell membranes , glucose is not transported into the cells and the blood glucose concentration increases.
Insulin deficiency provides more amino acid and glycerol substrates for glucose synthesis ie increased gluconeogenesis .
With a deficiency of insulin, there is both increased hepatic glucose production through increased glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis as well as decreased glucose use. The result is hyperglycemia.
