Biology

The lipid shown is D. Phospholipid.

Phospholipids are characterized by:

1.A hydrophilic (water-loving) head, which typically consists of a phosphate group and a glycerol molecule.

2.Two hydrophobic (water-fearing) tails, which are long fatty acid chains.

This unique structure allows phospholipids to form the phospholipid bilayer in cell membranes, where the hydrophilic heads face outward (toward water) and the hydrophobic tails face inward (away from water).

Here’s why the other op...
