(a)
Interpretation:
Whether triacylglycerol is a hydrolyzable lipid or not has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Lipids that contain an ester group that reacts with water are termed has hydrolyzable lipids. For example phospholipids, phospholipids and waxes.
Non-hydrolyzable lipids are those that cannot be hydrolyzed by water to form smaller units. They contain fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K or steroids and do not have
