Answer:

The correct option is A. The lipids, because they are responsible for long-term energy storage.

Explanation:

The bodies of organisms are made up of different organic molecules known as biological macromolecules, each specialized to perform unique functions. For example, nucleotides are biological macromolecules made up of nucleotides. The function of nucleotides is to store the genetic information of an organism.

Lipids are macromolecules which are made from fatty acids and glycerol. The function of lipids is to store long- term energy for an organism. Hence, the biology student listed the wrong function for lipids.
