Upon hydrolysis,which of the following lipid types would yield a carbohydrate as a product?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycolipids are lipids that contain carbohydrate molecules. Specifically, they have a carbohydrate bonded to the hydrophilic head of the lipid. Hydrolysis of glycolipids would break this bond and yield a carbohydrate as one of the products. Lecithins, cephalins, and phospholipids do not contain carbohydrate molecules, and therefore would not yield a carbohydrate upon hydrolysis.
