i think lipids are the only class of macromolecules that are waxy, fatty, or oily.
This answer is wrong.....and the question doesn't make sense. Lipids are not macromolecules.

Do lipids have a nitrogen base?
No. Lipids are composed of a "backbone" of glycerol and three carboxylic acid groups of varying length. Both glycerol and carboxylic acids contain only the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Explain what distinguishes lipids from other major classes of macromolecules?
Lipids are not soluble in water. improved..>> macromolecules have smaller subunits eg. protein-amino acid, carboyhdrate monosacharide, nucleic acid-nucleotide. unlike all the above examples lipids subunits are fatty acids which do not form covalent bonds with one another, rather they 'aggregrate' together.
What is the name of the organelle that contains digestive enzymes which breaks down worn out or damaged organelles waste materials and foreign invaders?
The lysosomes in a cell contain digestive enzyme that breaks down food, waste products, and pathogens. They can breakdown macromolecules like proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. They also break down old organelles and unneeded cell parts. When a cell takes in bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens, lysosomes break them down.
Are lipids similar to water molecules?
Lipids are hydrophobic or ambiphilic small molecules. In water, hydrophobic lipids such as oils and fats clump up and separate from the water. In water, ambiphilic lipids such as phospholipids form bilayer structures; the body of living creatures uses these bilayer structures to form cell membranes and vesicles.
What is the generalization of solubility of lipids?
Lipids are soluble in nonpolar or organic solvents.
What class of macromolecules do phospholipids belong to?
The lipids are the only class of macromolecules that contain fatty acids, steroids, phospholipid, and more.
Which macromolecules have only atoms of c h and o?
The macromolecules that are composed primarily of C, H, and O are lipids and carbohydrates.
Cells membranes do not have what type of macromolecules?
Nucleic acids. The membrane contains mostly lipids. Other molecules acting as receptors contain both protein and carbohydrates. so the only macromolecule missing is nucleic acids.
Are lipids composed of fatty acids and glycerol?
No, Lipids only contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
What two macromolecules are viruses composed of?
a virus and a cell only contain genetic material - got it from study island
How are lipids like carbohydrates?
lipids contain energy just like carbohydrates,but lipids contain more energy Source: North Shore Community College Student Carbohydrates do contain energy but only for short periods of time, where as Lipids can contain energy for long periods of time even if this means that they are under-water.
Do lipids have a nitrogen base?
No. Lipids are composed of a "backbone" of glycerol and three carboxylic acid groups of varying length. Both glycerol and carboxylic acids contain only the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

The class mammalia contain the only animal that?
have mammary glands
Cell membranes are made of all macromolecules except?
Of the major biomolecules, lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids, only nucleic acids are not present in cell membranes. Lipids make up the bilayer; proteins craete pumps and channels; carbohydrates are part of glycoproteins but no RNA or DNA is present.
Which of the following macromolecules are in butter protein carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids?
Whole butter, although it may appear to be a solid fat, is a combination of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Clarified butter, which is used for frying at high temperatures, is butter without the water-soluble part and thus only a lipid.
Does egg white contain lipid?
Yes. Egg yolks contain fat in the form of lipids. I mean what percentage of moisture contain & what is the percentage of fat & emulsifier present in the egg
