Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	Triglycerides
B	Lipids
C	Functional group
D	Phospholipids

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Functional groups play a significant role in directing and controlling organic reactions. Alkyl chains are often nonreactive, and the direction of site-specific reactions is difficult; unsaturated alkyl chains with the presence of functional groups allow for higher reactivity and specificity.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the molecular level, solubility is controlled by the energy balance of intermolecular forces between solute-solute, solvent-solvent and solute-solvent molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is (b) proteins. Proteins are a class of nitrogenous organic compounds that consist of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Organic compounds contain complex structures and have high molecular weights. These are soluble in organic solvents but mostly insoluble in water. Mostly includes only three elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen. Organic compounds are also combustible in nature. More items
