Question
Lipids have high oxygen content & this is why they store & release more energy during oxidation
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
This statement is false. Lipids store more energy precisely because they have a low oxygen content and a high proportion of carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds. These bonds release more energy when oxidized compared to the bonds involving oxygen found in carbohydrates.
Hint
Do lipids have more or less oxygen than carbohydrates? Does high or low oxygen mean more energy?
