QUESTION

Which of the following is not a phospholipid?

OPTIONS

(A) Lecithin
(B) Cephalin
(C) Cardiolipin
(D) Ceramide

ANSWER

(D) Ceramide

EXPLANATION

Ceramide is the correct option because ceramide is a sphingolipid backbone and is not itself classified as a phospholipid, as it contains no phosphate group. Lecithin, cephalin and cardiolipin are phospholipids containing phosphate, so they belong to the phospholipid class.
