Which of the following best represents a function of a lipid within an organism? O Lipids are components of cell membranes All the answer choices are correct O Lipids are parts of proteins O Lipids form a large part of the helical DNA structure

The statement that best represents a function of lipids within an organism is that they are components of cell membranes.

Explanation:

Lipids are biomolecules formed by the binding of fatty acids, important for structure, compound synthesis and energy reserve.

In living beings, one of the most important functions of lipids is to be the main component of cell membranes.

Specifically, phospholipids associate to form a double layer, called lipid bilayer, capable of acting as a semi-permeable membrane, due to its non-polar or hydrophobic character. In this way, membrane lipids fulfill a structural and protective function of the cell and its contents.

Regarding the other options:

the correct choice is i and iv.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
