The phospholipids found in the plasma membrane of a cell are lipids. What makes it special?

Question

A)it is the only lipid that can be unsaturated

b)it contains a phosphate group

c)it is the only lipid that can be saturated

d)it contains DNA in its fatty acids

Answer 1

The hint is "phospho"-lipid. Phospho implies a phosphate group is involved. The other thing that gives a hint is the fact that the plasma membrane is composed of a double membrane, with hydrophobic fatty acid tails inside facing each other, and hydrophilic phosphate groups on the outside facing the water.
