An analysis of a lipid shows that it is made up of two fatty acids and a phosphate group, each bonded to a glycerol molecule. The molecule has a hydrophobic end and a hydrophilic end. Based on this information, what conclusion can you draw regarding this lipid?

The lipid is a fat and can be used as an energy reserve.

The lipid is a phospholipid and can form a bilayer in a cell.

The lipid is a chitin and can be found in the exoskeletons of arthropods.

The lipid is a steroid and can arrange itself to form ring structures.
