The complex lipid with one mole of fatty acid per mole of inorganic phosphate has been Sphingolipid. Thus, option C is correct.

The lipids are biomolecules with the ability to bind with the nonpolar surfaces. The lipids have been bound with other biomolecules to form complex lipids.

The galactolipid has been the complex of fatty acid with galactose.Glycerophospholipid has been the composed of glycerophosphate along with the long chain constituted fatty acid and small alcohols.Sphingolipid has been the sphingosine backbone lipid with fatty acid. The sphingosine has been constituted of long amino acid chain. It has been present in cell membrane with one mole of fatty acid per mole phosphate.Triacylglycerol has been acidified fatty acid with three fatty acid to one glycerol.

Thus, the complex lipid with one mole of fatty acid per mole of inorganic phosphate has been Sphingolipid. Thus, option C is correct.

Answer from: murarimenon

The sphingolipid is the lipid with this composition.

Option: C

Explanation:

A biomolecule which is soluble in non-polar solvents like hydrocarbons but remain insoluble in water is understood as a lipid. Its function is: energy storage, signaling and working as structural components of cell membranes. A class of lipids, which is structured from sphingoid base backbone, a group of aliphatic amino alcohols including sphingosine, is known as Sphingolipids. It was discovered in brain extracts during 1870s and named after the mythological sphinx for their mysterious existence.Complicated sphingolipids in animal cells' plasma membrane, particularly nerve cells, have a structural role and are thought to shield the cell surface from unfavorable external factors.
