Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of triglycerides?

A)They consist of three fatty acid molecules attached to one glycerol molecule

B)They are hydrophobic.

C)They are critical components of a cell's plasma membrane.

D)They are involved in energy storage.

They're not critical components of a cell's plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Triglycerides are hydrophobic, they're involved in energy storage (because all fats do that), they do have 1 glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acids, and they help maintain the structure of cell membranes (by making a lipid bilayer).

what have scientists found to be the most efficient and effective way to insert new sequences into an individual? a-scientists have created genetically altered foods that release dna during digestion. b-scientists use viruses to insert specific gene sequences. c-scientists irradiate genes so that they can be absorbed through the skin.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
