Which of the glycerophospholipid head groups listed in Table 9-2 can form hydrogen bonds?

Short Answer

Expert verified

All glycerophospholipid head groups may establish hydrogen bonds except for choline.

Step by step solution

01

Glycerophospholipid

A glycerol-based phospholipid is known as glycerophospholipid or phosphoglycerideIt makes up the majority of biological membranes.

02

Glycerophospholipids head groups form hydrogen bonds

The table includes different phospholipids, formulas, and glycerophospholipid head groups.Glycerophospholipid head groups include water, ethanolamine, choline, serine, Myo-inositol, glycerol, and phosphatidylglycerol.

In choline, the valence shell of every atom in phosphatidylcholine is filled. The atom lacks an unpaired electron to form a hydrogen bond with another atom. Thus, choline is unable to establish hydrogen bonds as a result.

Hence, except for choline, all other glycerophospholipids head groups may establish hydrogen bonds in the aforementioned classes.
