Glycerol + two fatty acids + phosphate group is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The major component of all cell membranes is a phospholipid.
Phospholipids are essential molecules that give structure and provide protection to the cells -
phospholipids are made up of two fatty acids that are joined to the glycerol head and glycerol molecule is connected to the phosphate group.
The parts of a phospholipid molecule are
Glycerol The head of a phospholipid is composed of the glycerol group. two fatty acids: The phospholipid tails made up of two long fatty acid chain phosphate group:Phospholipids are capable to make cell membranes as the phosphate group head is water-loving which is hydrophilic in nature.
