Which organic molecule is responsible for the insulation of internal organs against shock?Carbohydrates

Anonymous · Answer

The correct answer would be B. lipids.Explanation:Lipids are the compounds that are fatty acids or derivatives of the fatty acid that are insoluble in water and soluble in nonpolar solvents such as ether. These are some of the essential molecules of the bodies. these molecules have various functions in the body.Such energy storage in the adipose tissues and utilize when there is not enough level of glucose, insulation: subcutaneous fats help in insulation as act as a blanket layer and insulate the body from external temperatures. Protection is also an essential function of lipids that protect the internal organs from shocks. Thus, the correct answer is option B. lipids.

The correct answer would be B. lipids.Lipids are organic compounds which are insoluble in polar solvents such as water and are soluble in non-polar solvent such as ether.They are essential for proper functioning of the body.They serve various functions such as: Energy storage: Excess of food we eat is converted into fats and is stored in adipose tissues. They serve as the source of energy when levels of glucose are low in the blood.Insulation: Lipids helps in maintaining the constant internal temperature of the body. Subcutaneous fats serve as the blanket layer around the tissue which aids in insulating the body against external temperatures. Triglycerides are mainly involved in thermal insulation and sphingolipids are mainly involved in electrical insulation.Protection: Visceral fat (layer of fat around the internal organs) act like bubble wrap around the internal organs and protect them from injury, trauma or shock.Other functions may include structural component (plasma membrane), hormonal roles (such as steroidal hormones), absorption of fat-soluble vitamins et cetera.

I think the correct  answer from the choices listed above is option B. Lipid is the organic molecule which is responsible for the insulation of internal organs against shock. It can act as a shock absorber in order to protect important organs and also it insulate the body from extreme temperatures.

Lipids are the organic molecule that insulate the internal organs against shock. They absorb the shock to protect the organs. They also insulate the body to protect it from extremes of temperature. Lipids are found in, among others, fats, waxes and some vitamins.

Lipids,also known as fatty tissue serve to coat internal organs and other parts of the body as well. As a result, it functions well as a shock absorbant

LipidsA lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.
