Options
they are mostly present in the plasma membrane and other membranes
they have high energy
they have less oxygen
All of the above
Solution
Despite having a molecular weight less than 800 Daltons, lipid molecules are considered macromolecules because they are mostly present in the plasma membrane and other membranes.
Explanation:
Only four types of organic compounds are classified as macromolecules, including lipids, polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Lipids are one of the four and, as they are present in the plasma membrane along with other membranes, are considered macromolecules because they have a molecular weight of less than 800 Daltons.
