Which of the following macromolecules is hydrophobic (repels water), and so makes them perfect for forming membranes.

• lipids

• carbs

• proteins

• nucleic acids

Carbon is perfect for forming large macromolecules because

• Carbon can bond with up to 4 other atoms.

• Carbon can bond with other carbon atoms, forming rings and branched chains.

• Carbon cannot form covalent bonds.
