Explanation:

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a component of the outer membrane of Gram - negative bacteria. Its structure consists of lipid A (a lipid component), a core oligosaccharide, and an O - antigen (both of which are carbohydrate components). Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. So LPS is composed of carbohydrates and lipids.
