Relative to carbohydrates,lipids

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipids contain fewer oxygen atoms per molecule compared to carbohydrates. Lipids have a higher ratio of carbon and hydrogen atoms, making them less polar and less soluble in water. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, contain a higher ratio of oxygen atoms and are more hydrophilic (water-loving) in nature. While lipids may be less abundant in some parts of the body, they are still essential components of cell membranes, energy storage molecules, and signaling molecules.
