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 option given below:
(a), (b) and (c) only
(a), (d) and (e) only
(c), (d) and (e) only
(a), (b) and (d) only
Option (3) is the correct answer because statements (c), (d) and (e) are correct as oils have lower melting point and hence remain oil in winters. Lipids are generally insoluble in water but soluble in some organic solvents. Option (1), (2) and (4) are incorrect because statements (a) and (b) are incorrect. Lecithin is a type of phospholipid found in plasma membrane. Saturated fatty acids are without double bond.
