A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/11/O/N/18

Explanation
Biochemical Statement Accuracy Steps:
- Examine each statement against standard biological definitions for macromolecules and bonds.
- Verify ratios, compositions, and processes using known formulas like Cn(H2O)n for carbohydrates.
- Check membrane components and lipid structures from cell biology principles.
- Confirm bond formation reactions, such as condensation in polymers.
Why B is correct:
- Triglycerides form lipid bilayers and are integral to all eukaryotic cell surface membranes as energy storage and structural elements.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Carbohydrates have a 1:2:1 C:H:O ratio, not 2:1 for C:O.
- C: Phospholipids typically have one saturated and one unsaturated chain for fluidity.
- D: Glycosidic bonds form via condensation, releasing water, but the statement is incomplete without specifying the reaction type.
Final answer: B
Topic: Carbohydrates and lipids
