Lipopolysaccharides are examples of________________?
Correct answer: C. Compound lipids
- A. Derived lipids
- B. Simple lipids
- C. Compound lipids
- D. Not a type of lipids
Explanation
Lipopolysaccharides contain a lipid portion covalently linked to a carbohydrate, or polysaccharide, portion. Lipids containing additional non-fatty components such as carbohydrates are classified as compound or complex lipids. They are therefore not simple lipids, which yield only fatty acids and alcohol on hydrolysis.
