Which class of biological molecule is made up of long hydrocarbon chains
and is not soluble in water?
A. Carbohydrates
OB. Nucleic acids
C. Lipids
OD. Proteins

Respuesta :

Lipids are made up of long hydrocarbon chains and is not soluble in water.

Hence, Option C is correct answer.

What is Carbohydrates ?

Carbohydrate is water soluble macromolecule because they are small polar molecules contains many -OH functional groups that makes it hydrophilic.  

What is Nucleic acid ?

Nucleic acids are long polymeric chain. They are hydrophilic in nature. Nucleic acid are soluble in water because of their polar nature.

What is Lipids ?

Lipids are hydrophobic and they are generally water insoluble because lipids are non polar molecules. Lipids are oily or greasy molecules. Lipids are made up of glycerol molecule. It includes fatty acids.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Lipids are made up of long hydrocarbon chains and is not soluble in water.

Hence, Option C is correct answer.
