The correct Answer is:
To determine which option is not a lipid, we can analyze each choice provided: 1. **Wax/Lecithin**: - Waxes are long-chain fatty acids and are classified as lipids. - Lecithin is a phospholipid, which is also a type of lipid. - Therefore, this option consists of lipids. 2. **Sterol/Cholesterol**: - Sterols are a subgroup of steroids and cholesterol is a well-known sterol. - Both are classified as lipids. - Hence, this option consists of lipids. 3. **Glycerol/Maltose**: - Glycerol is a component of triglycerides (which are lipids), but on its own, it is not classified as a lipid. - Maltose is a disaccharide (a type of carbohydrate) made up of two glucose units. - Therefore, this option contains a carbohydrate (maltose) and glycerol, which is not classified as a lipid on its own. 4. **Lecithin/Ghee**: - Lecithin is a phospholipid, and ghee is a type of clarified butter, which is a fat and therefore a lipid. - Thus, this option consists of lipids. After analyzing all the options, we conclude that the correct answer is: **(c) Glycerol/Maltose** is not a lipid.
