Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The following characteristics are true of which macromolecule? compose cell membranes contain many high-energy bonds include waxes and steroids contain more energy per gram than others
A
monosaccharide
B
protein
C
lipid
D
nucleic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is Lipids.

Detailed explanation-2: -ATP is the main source of energy for most cellular processes. The building blocks of ATP are carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus. Because of the presence of unstable, high-energy bonds in ATP, it is readily hydrolyzed in reactions to release a large amount of energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: There are four classes of biological molecules: fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids. Of these, fats produce the most energy per gram at a whopping nine calories per gram.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fats are the primary long-term energy storage molecules of the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lipids are composed mainly of carbon and hydrogen, but they can also contain oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorous. They provide nutrients for organisms, store carbon and energy, play structural roles in membranes, and function as hormones, pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and pigments.
