Which of the following best defines phospholipids?

Lipids containing phosphorus

Lipids containing nitrogen

Lipids containing sulfur

Lipids without fatty acids

Phospholipids act as good emulsification agents because they are:

Neutral molecules

Fully hydrophobic

Fully hydrophilic

Amphipathic (have both polar and nonpolar parts)

Upon hydrolysis, sphingomyelin yields all of the following except:

Glycerol

Phosphoric acid

Choline

Fatty acids

Lecithin differs from cephalin mainly in:

Type of phosphate group

Presence of sphingosine

Type of fatty acid

Type of nitrogen base

In lecithin, the nitrogen compound attached to phosphatidic acid is:

Ethanolamine

Choline

Sphingosine

Serine

Cephalins are phospholipids that contain either:

Tyrosine or tryptophan

Choline or sphingosine

Ethanolamine or serine

Glycerol or cholesterol

The most common type of phospholipid in cell membranes is:

Phosphatidylcholine (Lecithin)

Triglyceride

Cholesterol

Sphingomyelin

Sphingomyelin differs from phosphoglycerides because it:

Contains sugar groups

Contains glycerol instead of sphingosine

Lacks fatty acids

Contains sphingosine instead of glycerol

the choline obtained from lecithins is considered:

Compound Lipid

Not classified as lipid

Simple Lipid

Derived Lipid

Which of the following is not a nitrogen base found in phospholipids?

Choline

Serine

Ethanolamine

Glycerol
