Question

9 Which molecule can mix with water and is also a source of energy and a storage

area for energy in the body?
A lipid
B chlorophyll
C nucleic acid
D carbohyd

Answer 1

Carbohydrates, particularly glucose, mix with water and are a source of energy that can be stored and utilized by the body for biological functions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecule that can mix with water, serves as a source of energy, and is a storage area for energy in the body is carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, like glucose, are energy-rich organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When metabolized, glucose provides immediate fuel for cellular activities.

It is also stored in the body as glycogen, which can be later broken down for energy when needed. Lipids are another form of long-term energy storage but they do not mix with water as carbohydrates do. Therefore, the correct option is 'D carbohyd' (understood to mean carbohydrates).

Answer 2

Lipid can mix with water and is also a source of energy and a storage area for energy in the body

Step-by-step explanation:

Lipid is most commonly called fats, which is mainly composed with hydrogen and oxygen. It has limited amount of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and phosphorus. It is source of nutrients. It serves as many ways and purposes. It plays vital role in structure and also function of organism.

It gives energy as well as thermal insulation. Some lipids work as chemical messenger between cells, tissue and organs. These lipids are steroid hormone.
