Question

which of the following are functions of lipids? choose three correct answers. forming the exoskeletons of insects forming waxy leaf coverings forming bones and cartilage storing energy in fat cells forming cell membranes carrying genetic information

Explanation:

Lipids have several functions. They form waxy leaf coverings which help in water - proofing and protection. Fats (a type of lipid) store energy in fat cells. Phospholipids are a major component of cell membranes. Insect exoskeletons are made of chitin (a polysaccharide), bones and cartilage are mainly made of proteins and minerals, and genetic information is carried by nucleic acids.

Answer:

• forming waxy leaf coverings
• storing energy in fat cells
• forming cell membranes
