which of the following subunits are found in all phospholipids?
☐ phosphate group
☐ glycerol
☐ fatty acids
☐ 5-carbon sugar
☐ nitrogenous base
☐ amino group
Brief Explanations
Phospholipids are composed of a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid chains, and a phosphate - containing group. A 5 - carbon sugar, nitrogenous base are components of nucleic acids, and an amino group is related to amino acids/proteins. So the subunits found in all phospholipids are Phosphate group, Glycerol, and Fatty acids.
