C) three phosphate groups
D) three carboxylic acid residues
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Phospholipids - Phosphate + glycerol + fatty acids + a nitrogen containing base. General formula: \[\begin{matrix} C{{H}_{2}}O.COR' \\ | \\ \begin{align} & CHO\,\,COR'' \\ & | \\ & C{{H}_{2}}O-\underset{O}{\mathop{\underset{||}{\mathop{\overset{OH}{\mathop{\overset{|}{\mathop{P}}\,}}\,}}\,}}\,-O-X \\ \end{align} \\ \end{matrix}\] \[X=\underset{\text{Ethanolamine}}{\mathop{OHC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}N{{H}_{2}}}}\,.\]
