The correct Answer is:
To determine which option is not a glyceride, we first need to understand what a glyceride is. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Glyceride**: - Glycerides are esters formed from glycerol and fatty acids. They can be classified into mono-, di-, and triglycerides based on the number of fatty acid chains attached to the glycerol molecule. 2. **Components of Glycerides**: - Glycerol: A three-carbon alcohol that serves as the backbone for glycerides. - Fatty Acids: Long hydrocarbon chains that can be saturated or unsaturated. 3. **Types of Glycerides**: - **Monoglycerides**: Contain one fatty acid attached to glycerol. - **Diglycerides**: Contain two fatty acids attached to glycerol. - **Triglycerides**: Contain three fatty acids attached to glycerol. 4. **Identifying Non-Glyceride**: - To identify which option is not a glyceride, we need to look for substances that do not fit the definition of being an ester of glycerol and fatty acids. - Common examples of glycerides include fats and oils (which are triglycerides) and phospholipids (which may contain glycerol but also have phosphate groups). 5. **Examine the Options**: - If one of the options is soap, we note that soap is typically a sodium salt of fatty acids and does not contain glycerol as part of its structure. Therefore, soap is not classified as a glyceride. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the option that is not a glyceride is **soap**. ### Final Answer: The substance that is not a glyceride is **soap**. ---
