Which of the following is not a macromolecule but present in an acid-insoluble fraction?
Options
- ANucleic acid
- BPolysaccharide
- CLipids
- DProteins
Correct answer
C. Lipids
Step-by-step solution
Lipids are not strictly macromolecules but are present in the acid-insoluble pool because lipids are arranged in cell membranes when tissue is grounded, cell membrane, and other membranes are broken into pieces, and forms vesicles which are not water-soluble, thus they get separated in the acid-insoluble pool. Lipids are monomers and not polymers, hence they cannot be considered as macromolecules.
