Lipids are primarily used in living organisms for **long-term energy storage** and **forming the cell membrane**. Therefore, the correct response from your options is:

- Long-term energy storage

If you have more questions, feel free to ask!
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The organic molecule responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information is **DNA**. So, the correct response is:

- **DNA**
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The function that is NOT typically associated with proteins is **Repair damage**. While proteins are involved in many processes within the body, "repair damage" is a more generalized term that may involve various biomolecules and cellular processes, rather than a specific function of proteins.

So, the correct response is:

- **Repair damage**
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct response highlighting a key difference between DNA and RNA is:

- **DNA contains thymine, RNA contains uracil**

This statement accurately reflects the difference in nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA. DNA has thymine (T), while RNA has uracil (U) instead of thymine.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The macromolecule that is NOT soluble in water is a **Lipid**.

So, the correct response is:

- **Lipid**
