Read the following statements on lipids and find out correct set of statements :

(a) Lecithin found in the plasma membrane is a glycolipid

(b) Saturated fatty acids possess one or more c=c bonds

(c) Gingely oil has lower melting point, hence remains as oil in winter

(d) Lipids are generally insoluble in water but soluble in some organic solvents

(e) When fatty acid is esterified with glycerol, monoglycerides are formed

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

1. (a), (b) and (d) only

2. (a), (b) and (c) only

3. (a), (d) and (e) only

4. (c), (d) and (e) only

Best answer

Answer: 4. (c), (d) and (e) only

  • (a) Lecithin is a phospholipid, not a glycolipid: false.
  • (b) Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds: false.
  • (c) Gingely (sesame) oil has a low melting point and stays liquid in winter: true.
  • (d) Lipids are insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents: true.
  • (e) Esterifying fatty acid with glycerol gives mono-, di- or triglycerides: true.

So (c), (d), (e).
