Which of the following is NOT a function of lipids in the human body?

Accepted Answer

Catalyzing chemical reactions

Question 12

Which of the following best describes the difference between hydrolysis and dehydration synthesis?

Accepted Answer

Hydrolysis breaks molecules apart by adding water, while dehydration synthesis joins molecules by removing water.

Question 13

Which of the following is TRUE regarding the structure of ATP?

Accepted Answer

ATP contains three phosphate groups, a ribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.
