Question

cell membranes
large biomolecule
many high - energy bonds
nonpolar covalent bonds
includes waxes and steroids
consists mainly of carbon and hydrogen
more energy per gram than other biomolecules
the biomolecule described is a:
lipid
nucleic acid
carbohydrate
protein

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Lipids are components of cell membranes. They are large biomolecules with non - polar covalent bonds, mainly composed of carbon and hydrogen. Waxes and steroids are types of lipids. Lipids have many high - energy bonds and more energy per gram than other biomolecules. Nucleic acids are for storing genetic information, carbohydrates are energy sources and structural components with different chemical properties, and proteins have various functions like catalysis and structure but don't match all these lipid characteristics.

Answer:

A. Lipid
