Vedclass · Answer

(C) $\Rightarrow$ When we grind a tissue,we disrupt the cell structure. Cell membranes and other organelle membranes are broken into pieces and form vesicles,which are not water-soluble.$\Rightarrow$ These membrane fragments,in the form of vesicles,get separated along with the acid-insoluble pool and are thus found in the macromolecular fraction.$\Rightarrow$ However,lipids are not strictly macromolecules because their molecular weight does not exceed $800 \ Da$,which is the threshold for the macromolecular fraction.

$S$ - Statement: Lipids that contain non-lipid components in addition to alcohol and fatty acids in their structure are called complex lipids.
$R$ - Reason: Lipoproteins contain protein as a non-lipid component in their structure.

What type of fatty acids are palmitic acid and oleic acid,respectively?
