On condensation, the given reactants will yield a molecule of
Correct answer: C. Acylglycerol
- A. Steroid
- B. Carotenoid
- C. Acylglycerol
- D. Phospholipid
Explanation
The correct answer is acylglycerol. In a condensation reaction, fatty acids react with glycerol to form acylglycerols (such as triglycerides) and release water. Steroids and carotenoids are not formed through this type of reaction. Phospholipids involve additional components beyond what would be expected in a typical condensation involving just fatty acids and glycerol.

About Lipids
Lipids include fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids, which are largely insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. Coverage includes glycerol and fatty acids, ester bond formation, saturated and unsaturated fats, triglyceride functions, and phospholipids in cell membranes.
