Which of these is a phospholipid found in cell membranes?
Answers
Answer: Hi!!!
Phospholipids are a class of lipids that are a major component of all cell membranes. They can form lipid bilayers because of their amphiphilic characteristic. The structure of the phospholipid molecule generally consists of two hydrophobic fatty acid "tails" and a hydrophilic "head" consisting of a phosphate group.

Answer:
The phospholipid lecithin is found in the cell membrane.
Explanation:
Glycerol, two fatty acids, a phosphate group, and choline make up lecithin, a phospholipid.
The most common phospholipid is lecithin. Egg yolks, wheat germ, and soybeans all contain it. Soybeans are used to extract lecithin, which is used as an emulsifying agent in food.
Lecithin is essential for preserving cell structural integrity, moving fat molecules, and conveying signals, as well as serving as an energy source for cellular functions. Both fat and water are drawn to lecithin.
