The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, let's break down the information step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that "Lipids are not strictly macromolecules." - Macromolecules are typically defined as large molecules with high molecular weights, generally exceeding 1000 Daltons. - Lipids, while they can form larger structures (like membranes), are often smaller molecules and do not fit the strict definition of macromolecules. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that "Molecular weight of lipids does not exceed 800 Dalton." - This statement is generally true; many lipids have molecular weights that are less than 800 Daltons. - This supports the assertion that lipids are not considered macromolecules since they do not meet the typical molecular weight criteria. ### Step 3: Evaluating the Relationship Now, we need to evaluate if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - Since the assertion is that lipids are not strictly macromolecules, and the reason provides a valid explanation (that their molecular weight does not exceed 800 Daltons), we can conclude that both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is indeed a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Both the assertion and the reason are true. - The reason correctly explains why lipids are not classified as macromolecules. ### Final Answer Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---

Lipids are not strictly macromolecules because

The molecules in the insoluble fraction with the exception of lipids are polymeric substances. Then why do lipids whose molecular weights do not exceed 800 Da, come under acid insoluble fraction, i.e., macromolecular fraction.

Go through the following statements. (i) Lipids are not strictly macromolecules. (ii) In a polysaccharide , the left end is called the non-reducing chain, the right end called the reducing end. (iii) Cellulose contains complex helices and hence cannot hold I_(2) . (iv) Collagen is the most abundant protein in the whole of the biosphere. Find out the correct statements .

Read the statements given below. Statement-l : Micromolecules differ from macromolecules as their molecular weight is usually less than 1000 daltons. Statement-ll : N-acetyl glucosamine is the key component of fungal cellulose. Choose the correct option.

Assertion :- 2,4 DNP is an uncoupling agent in ETS. Reason :- It is soluble in lipid.

Assertion : Most biomolecules which are found in the acid insoluble fraction are macromolecules Reason: Most biomolecules found in acid insoluble fraction have molecular weight more than 1000 Dalton .

Assertion : Cells vary greatly in their shape. Reason : The shape of cell does not depend on the function they perform.

Assertion : Insulin is not given orally. Reason : Insulin hormone is lipid-soluble and directily enters inside the cell membrane.
