This lipid is amphiphathic . Because of this, this lipid A) contains no double bonds between carbons and is a solid at room temperature. B) contains varied functional groups to create molecules with varied functions. C) has a polar and non-polar region, making it a logical component of cell membranes. D) contains at least one double bond between carbons and is therefore, liquid at room temperature.

Answer:

The correct answer is C has polar and non polar region making it logical component of the cell membrane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amphiphatic compounds are specific type of biochemical compound that contain both polar and nonpolar portions.

For example phospholipid molecules of the lipid bi layer of the plasma membrane.Phospholipid contain polar head group also called glycerol and 2non polar hydrocarbon fatty acid tails.Therefore lipid basically phospholipids are amphiphatic in nature.
