A phosphoglyceride is always made up of

  • only a saturated fatty acid esterified to a glycerol molecule to which a phosphate group is also attached

  • only an unsaturated fatty acid esterified to glycerol molecule to which a phosphate group is also attached

  • a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid esterified to a glycerol molecule to which a phosphate group is also attached

  • a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid esterified to a glycerol molecule to which a phosphate group is also attached


C.

a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid esterified to a glycerol molecule to which a phosphate group is also attached

A fat is formed of two kinds of smaller molecules, i.e., glycerol and fatty acids. In making a fat three fatty acid molecules each join to glycerol by an ester linkage. A fatty acid has a long carbon skeleton, usually 16 or 18 carbon atom in length. It there is no double bonds between carbon atoms composing the chain, then as many hydrogen atoms as possible are bonded to the carbon skeleton.
