Read the following statements on lipids and find out the 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) Gingelly oil has a lower melting point, hence remains as oil in winter (d) Lipids are generally insoluble in water but soluble in some organic solvents (e) When a fatty acid is esterified with glycerol, monoglycerides are formed Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
To solve this problem, we need to evaluate each statement about lipids and determine which are correct. Let's analyze each statement:(a) Lecithin found in the plasma membrane is a glycolipid: - Lecithin is actually a phospholipid, not a glycolipid. It contains a phosphate group. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect.(b) Saturated fatty acids possess one or more C=C bonds: - Saturated fatty acids do not have C=C double bonds; they have only single bonds between carbon atoms.
