Question

the diagram shows a type of lipid.which type of lipid is shown?a saturated phospholipida saturated triglyceridean unsaturated phospholipidan unsaturated triglyceride

Explanation:

• Phospholipids have a phosphate - containing head and two fatty acid tails. Triglycerides have three fatty acid tails attached to a glycerol. The diagram shows a structure with a phosphate - like head (blue) and two tails, so it is a phospholipid.
• Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds (straight tails), unsaturated have double bonds (kinked tails). The tails in the diagram are straight, indicating saturated.

Answer:

a saturated phospholipid
