Question

A phosphoglycerate or phospholipid is always made up of

Answer 1

Answer:

Phospholipids are made up of two fatty acids (long chains of hydrogen and carbon molecules), which are attached to a glycerol 'head.' The glycerol molecule is also attached to a phosphate group, and this is the hydrophilic part of the molecule.

Phosphoglycerate is a conjugate acid of a 3-phosphoglycerate(3-), a 3-phosphoglycerate(2-) and a 3-phosphoglycerate. 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3PG) is a 3-carbon molecule that is a metabolic intermediate in both glycolysis and the Calvin cycle. This chemical is often termed PGA when referring to the Calvin cycle.
