Ответ:
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:
Proteins are made up of amino acids, not lipids. Lipids are not constituents of the DNA structure.Ответ:
