In Phospholipids, the Phosphate is Generally Bonded Between

Question

In phospholipids, the phosphate is generally bonded between
A) Fatty acid and glycerol
B) Glycerol and hydrophilic group such as choline
C) Fatty acid and serine
D) Glycerol and glucose
E) Fatty acids and glucose

Accepted Answer

In phospholipids, the phosphate group is bonded to the glycerol molecule, which in turn is connected to a hydrophilic group such as choline. This structure forms the hydrophilic head of the phospholipid, while the fatty acids attached to the glycerol form the hydrophobic tails.
