How would a sugar molecule serve as the basis to build a lipid molecule?
A Sugars have the same structure as lipids, but with different elements. Sugars have the same structure as lipids, but with different elements.
B Sugars provide the phosphorus and nitrogen used to build high-energy lipids.Sugars provide the phosphorus and nitrogen used to build high-energy lipids.
C Sugars provide the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen used to build a lipid.Sugars provide the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen used to build a lipid.
D Sugars provide the energy for the cell to build lipids from raw materials.

Lipids are organic compounds that include fats, oils, and waxes. They are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Sugar molecules, also known as carbohydrates, are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms as well. When building a lipid molecule, the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms from sugar molecules can be used as the basis. The atoms can combine in different ways to form the unique structure of a lipid molecule.

For example, a simple lipid molecule called a triglyceride consists of a glycerol molecule (which is a sugar alcohol) and three fatty acid molecules. The carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms from the sugar molecule are utilized to form the glycerol backbone of the triglyceride, while the fatty acid molecules contribute additional carbon and hydrogen atoms to the structure. Through the process of dehydration synthesis, the sugar molecule serves as a foundation for building the lipid molecule by providing the necessary carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.

hope this helps!! ily and bye bye!! ~ sun
