Options
- A(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
- B(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
- C(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
- D(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
Correct answer
B. (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
Step-by-step solution
Lecithin is a phospholipid found in cell membranes. Palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid that has 16 carbon atoms including the carboxyl carbon. Arachidonic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid that has 20 carbon atoms including the carboxyl carbon. Glycerol is a simple lipid chemically known as trihydroxy propane. Therefore, the correct match is (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III). Answer: (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
