None of the above responses are correct.
A sugar molecule does not directly serve as the basis to build a lipid molecule. Lipids are built from fatty acids and glycerol molecules. Glycerol is a type of sugar alcohol, but it is not directly converted from a sugar molecule. Fatty acids, which are the building blocks of lipids, are produced through various biosynthetic pathways in the cell.
