Lipids are unique in their structure and function. Which of the following is a characteristic of a type of lipid? a) it retains and transmits important biological information
b) energy production, enzyme development, increased reaction speed
c) hydrophobic and does not dissolve well in water
d) regulation of metabolism and muscle movement

C

Explanation:

Generally hydrophobic/ amphipatic. Water-insoluble organic compounds. Do not form large covalent polymers.

relationships play a major role in a human's emotional and mental wellbeing. healthy relationships with the people around you are even linked to a smaller production of cortisol, a stress hormone.

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
