Question

which of the following is a property shared by lipids and carbohydrates? *
o both dissolve in water
o both are sources of energy for the cell
o both have the same number of oxygen atoms

Explanation:

Lipids are non - polar and do not dissolve in water (hydrophobic), while carbohydrates are polar and can dissolve in water (hydrophilic). Carbohydrates are the main and immediate source of energy for the cell, while lipids are a long - term energy storage. The number of oxygen atoms varies between different types of lipids and carbohydrates. However, both lipids and carbohydrates are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.

Answer:

both have the same number of oxygen atoms
