Ans: Lipids perform three primary biological functions within the body: they serve as structural components of cell membranes, function as energy storehouses, and function as important signaling molecules. The three main types of lipids are triacylglycerols (also called triglycerides), phospholipids, and sterols.
The
molecular clock tracks down nucleotide sequences for DNA or amino acids that
contain sequences of proteins. Scientists use this to deduce the time in
history where life forms possibly have diverged. This technique is also known
as a gene clock or an evolutionary clock.
