Which one of the following structural formula of two organic compounds is correctly identified along with its related function?

• A

  B-uracil - a component of DNA
• B

  A-triglyceride - major source of energy
• Correct answer
  C

  A-lecithin - a component of cell membrane
• D

  B-adenine - a nucleotide that makes up nucleic

Solution

'A' is a structural formula of lecithin. It is probably the most common phospholipid. Phospholipids are major components in the lipid bilayers of cell membrane.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
