Glycerophospholipids are __________. View Available Hint(s) Glycerophospholipids are __________. derivatives of triacylglycerols
that contain three polar phosphate heads and three amino alcohols all nonpolar molecules that are only soluble in other nonpolar solvents found only in nerve tissue in the human body derivatives of triacylglycerols that contain a polar phosphate head and an amino alcohol at one of the positions of the glycerol group
a. derivatives of triacylglycerols that contain a polar phosphate head and an amino alcohol at one of the positions of the glycerol group.
Explanation:
Glycerophospholipids consist of glycerophosphate which is an ester of glycerol and phosphoric acid, long-chain fatty acids, and certain alcohols. The glycerophospholipids is responsible for the formation of cellular membranes of organelles within cells of all organisms. The name of Glycerophospholipids indicates the presence of glycerol, phosphorus and lipids so that's why we can say that it is derivatives of triacylglycerol that contain phosphate and an amino alcohol at one of the positions of the glycerol group.
