True/False Questions Phosphoglycerates are complex lipids and are made up of glycerol, two fatty acids, phosphoric acids and amino alcohols Lecithin is an example of phosphoglycerate and it is called phosphatidyl choline Cephalins are phosphoglycerides found in blood platelets. They are made up of glycerol, fatty acids, phosphoric acid and serine, an alcohol containing amino acid. In sphingosine, one of the hydroxyl group of glycerol is replaced by an amino group and a hydrogen atom of CH2 group of glycerol is replaced by a C-15 Carbon chain containing an alkene group. Lecithin’s are components of cell membranes and function as emulsifying and micelle forming agents and thus play an important role in transport of lipids in blood.
