Answer: (A) Phospholipids. Answer: (A) Phospholipids.
- A.Phospholipids✓
- B.Glycerides
- C.Carbohydrates
- D.Amino acids
Correct Answer
(A) Phospholipids
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (A) Phospholipids. Solution: Lecithin is a small molecular weight lipid containing a phosphorylated organic compound, which NCERT defines as a phospholipid found in cell membranes. It is neither a simple glyceride, a carbohydrate nor an amino acid; it is explicitly named as the example of a phospholipid. NCERT Reference: Ch 9, p.106, line ~27 — "Some lipids have phosphorous and a phosphorylated organic compound in them. These are phospholipids... Lecithin is one example."
