NEET (UG) 2024 — Question 99
Lecithin, a small molecular weight organic compound found in living tissues, is an example of:
- Option A:
Amino acids
- Option B:Correct
Phospholipids
- Option C:
Glycerides
- Option D:
Carbohydrates
Answer: B
Step-by-step solution
The correct answer is option (2). Some lipids have phosphorous and a phosphorylated organic
compound in them. These are phospholipids. They are found in cell membrane. Lecithin is one
example.
Option (3) is incorrect as glycerides are another group of lipids in which both glycerol and fatty acids
are present.
Option (1) and (4) are incorrect as amino acids and carbohydrates are separate groups of biomolecules.
