NEET2012BotanyBiomolecules (B)Actual
Which one of the following biomolecules is correctly characterised?
Options
- ALecithin-A phosphorylated glyceride found in cell membrane
- BPalmitic acid-An unsaturated fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms
- CAdenylic acid-Adenosine with a glucose phosphate molecule
- DAlanine amino acid-Contains an amino group and an acidic group anywhere in the molecule
Correct answer
A. Lecithin-A phosphorylated glyceride found in cell membrane
Step-by-step solution
Alanine is a neutral amino acid with non-cyclic hydrocarbon chain, one amino group and one carboxyl group. Palmitic acid is saturated fatty acid adenylic acid has pentose sugar in it not glucose.
