(b)
Interpretation:
The given lipid molecule as triacylglycerol, phosphoacylglycerol or sphingomyelin needs to be identified on the basis of a given structure.
Concept Introduction:
Lipids are biomolecules that are involved in different biochemical reactions. They are special types of organic molecules that can only identify with the help of their physical properties, not by the presence of any certain functional group. In general, lipids contain a large number of C-C and C-H bonds with few polar functional groups like −OH, -SH, etc.; such as triacylglycerol consists of three ester groups, whereas Vitamin E is composed of both ether and phenolic groups.
