Advantages to Using Triacylglycerols, Rather Than Polysaccharaides, to Store Energy

question 53

Multiple Choice

Advantages to using triacylglycerols, rather than polysaccharaides, to store energy include which reason(s) ?

• A) The carbon atoms of triacylglycerols are more reduced.
• B) Triacylglycerols contain more oxygen than polysaccharides and therefore are more efficient to oxidize.
• C) Since triacylglycerols are hydrophobic, excess water does not need to be stored along with them.
• D) The carbon atoms of triacylglycerols are more reduced, and since triacylglycerols are hydrophobic, excess water does not need to be stored along with them.
• E) Triacylglycerols contain more oxygen than polysaccharides and therefore are more efficient to oxidize, and since triacylglycerols are hydrophobic, excess water does not need to be stored along with them.

Definitions:

Second-Angle Projection

A drafting technique where the object is viewed from directly above, with views rotated 90 degrees around the object's axis, commonly used in European countries.

Third-Angle Projection

A method of orthographic projection used primarily in the United States, where the object is imagined to be located in the third quadrant.

Decimal-Inch

A unit of measurement used in the United States, where lengths are represented in decimal as opposed to fractions, for precise machined parts or engineering drawings.

Side View

A drawing or projection that represents an object as seen from the side, typically used to show depth or interior features.
