Question

The monosaccharide derivative shown below bonds to hydrophobic molecules in the liver. What effect does this have on the molecule to which it binds? It increases the nutritional value of the molecule by allowing it to be retained by the body longer. It decreases the polarity of the hydrophobic molecule, allowing it to be retained in the body longer. It eliminates the ability of the molecule to act as a nutritional source of energy. It increases the polarity of the molecule, making it more soluble in bodily fluids, and more readily removed. It increases the hydrophobicity of the molecule, making it more soluble in fatty tissues.

Explanation / Answer

It increase the Polarity of the molecule, making it more soluble in bodily fluids,and more readily removed.
