Fatty acids synthesized in the human body always have an even number of carbon atoms usually between 12 and 28. Odd-numbered fatty acid chains will occasionally be found in plants and marine animals.

When a monosaccharide becomes cyclic in form, the anomeric carbon can have its hydroxyl group pointing in the same direction as the methoxy group, or oriented in the opposite direction. This orientation determines whether the sugar is considered alpha or beta.

Carbohydrates are linked together to form disaccharides and other polysaccharides through glycosidic linkages. A glycosidic linkage is one in where two sugar molecules are bridged by an oxygen atom. Peptide linkages are found between amino acids and phosphodiester bonds are found between nucleic acid monomers. Ionic bonds involve the complete transfer of one or more electrons from one species to another. Hydrogen bonds are weak intermolecular and intramolecular forces that contribute to the stability of many substances such as liquid water.

Blood is an aqueous solution and will easily dissolve polar, hydrophilic molecules. Nonpolar molecules, however, do not easily exist in this solution and require a bound polar group, such as a carrier protein, to exist in equilibrium.

Proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids all contain polar groups, allowing them to dissolve in the blood. Lipids, however, are nonpolar and require transport proteins. Steroids are a class of lipids and will require protein assistance for transport in the blood.

Sucrose is a carbohydrate, glycine is a polar amino acid, and ATP is a polar nucleic acid derivative.

The correct answer is that RNA nucleotides have two hydroxide groups on the sugar, whereas DNA nucleotides have only one hydroxide group. RNA uses uracil in place of thymine; not DNA. Both DNA and RNA have five-carbon sugars and are bound together along the backbone by phosphodiester bonds. Though base pairing is more common in DNA (double-stranded RNA is less common), both utilize hydrogen bonding.
