Question

The structure of glycerophospholipids contains Select one: a. a phosphate group, glycerol, three fatty acids, and a sugar molecule. b. a phosphate group, glycerol, two fatty acids, and an alcohol molecule. c. a phosphate group, a cyclic carbon ring, and variable numbers of fatty acids. d. a phosphate group, a carbohydrate molecule, an alcohol, and fatty acids.

Answer 1

Answer:

b. a phosphate group, glycerol, two fatty acids, and an alcohol molecule.

Explanation:

Structure of glycerophospholipids comprise of phosphate group, glycerol, two fatty acids, and an alcohol molecule. Glycerophospholipids are the compounds which is present in large quantity in the form of phospholipids. Due to its unique structure, glycerophospholipids are present in greater concentrations in all cell membranes and it is also present in very small concentration in fats.
