    Lipids readily dissolve in water.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Lipids do not readily dissolve in water because they are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water. Lipids are nonpolar molecules, while water is a polar molecule. The polar nature of water causes it to form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules, creating a network of intermolecular attractions. Lipids, on the other hand, have nonpolar hydrocarbon chains that are unable to form hydrogen bonds with water. As a result, lipids tend to aggregate together and separate from water, making them insoluble in water.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate found in the cell walls of plants. While humans lack the necessary enzymes to break down cellulose, some animals like cows and termites have specialized digestive systems that can process cellulose. However, humans cannot use cellulose as a direct source of energy because our bodies cannot digest it. Therefore, the statement that people can use cellulose as a source of energy is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    If we can't digest cellulose, why is it good to eat?

    • We call this fiber, and it helps food pass more easily through our digestive tracts because it abrades (irritates/slightly scrapes) the lining of the digestive tract, stimulating it to produce more mucus.

    • It takes a long time to break down cellulose. This allows the cellulose to last much longer, and thus gives us a constant supply of energy rather than a quick burst of sugar.

    • Because it tastes like sugar, so we fool our bodies into thinking we ate sugar, thus increasing our metabolism. However, it provides no calories for us, so it can help us obtain or maintain a healthy weight.

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. We call this fiber, and it helps food pass more easily through our digestive tracts because it abrades (irritates/slightly scrapes) the lining of the digestive tract, stimulating it to produce more mucus.
    Explanation
    Cellulose, which is a type of fiber, is good to eat because it helps food pass more easily through our digestive tracts. It does this by irritating or slightly scraping the lining of the digestive tract, which stimulates it to produce more mucus. This increased mucus production helps in the smooth movement of food through the digestive system. Additionally, cellulose takes a long time to break down, providing a constant supply of energy rather than a quick burst of sugar. It also tastes like sugar, fooling our bodies into thinking we ate sugar and increasing metabolism, but it does not provide any calories, making it helpful for weight management.
