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.
