In phosphatidic acid, phosphoric acid is attached to carbon no. _ of glycerol.
Correct answer: C. 03
- A. 01
- B. 02
- C. 03
- D. 04
Explanation
Phosphatidic acid is formed when two fatty acids are esterified to the first and second carbon atoms of glycerol, and phosphoric acid is esterified to the third carbon. Options 1 and 2 are incorrect because these carbons are occupied by fatty acids, not phosphoric acid. Option 4 is incorrect because glycerol only has three carbon atoms, making this option impossible.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
