The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is wrong, let's analyze each of the statements provided: 1. **Cellulose is the most abundant homopolysaccharide.** - Cellulose is indeed the most abundant homopolysaccharide found in plants. It is made up of long chains of glucose molecules linked together. This statement is **true**. 2. **Waxes are simple lipids.** - Waxes are classified as simple lipids, which are typically long-chain fatty acids esterified to long-chain alcohols. This statement is also **true**. 3. **Glycogen and glucose are the two common carbohydrates in animals.** - Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a form of energy storage in animals, while glucose is a simple sugar that is a primary energy source. This statement is **true**. 4. **Steroid is a fatty acid.** - This statement is **false**. Steroids are a class of lipids, but they are not fatty acids. Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains, while steroids have a distinct multi-ring structure. Thus, this statement is incorrect. ### Conclusion: The wrong statement is: **"Steroid is a fatty acid."** ---
