The phosphate group contribute the following functional features to the structure of phospholipids:
1. Negative charge to interact with water.
2. Place to attach another small molecule.
The phosphate group is made up of four atoms of oxygen which are attached to one atom of phosphorus. This molecule has a net negative charge of -3. In the phospholipid molecule, the phosphate enhanced the polarity of the phospholipid head by mean of its negative charge which react with water. Phosphate group also provide a point where other small molecules such as alcohol, serine, etc can be attached.
Number of O atoms : 24

Given
C₆H₁₂O₆ compound
Required
Number of atoms
Solution
A molecular formula shows the number of atomic elements in compound.
The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of the atoms
Glucose-C₆H₁₂O₆ is composed of 3 elements, namely C, H, and O.
The number of atoms in a compound can usually be seen from the subscript number after the atom and the reaction coefficient shows the number of molecules
So number of O atoms :
= 4 x 6 = 24 atoms
I believe it might be c I might wrong
