Which of the following are the precursors of phosphatidylcholines?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phosphatidylcholines are a type of phospholipid composed of a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid chains, a phosphate group, and a choline molecule. The precursor of this molecule is a phosphatidate, which is similar in structure but lacks the choline group. Therefore, choice C (phosphatidates) is the best answer. Cholinates do not exist as a precursor to phosphatidylcholines, and cholinesterates are a type of ester bond found in certain molecules but are not directly involved in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholines. Triphosphates are also not involved in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholines.
