I can't believe they're testing us on phospholipids. Next thing you know, they'll be asking about the square root of a lipid bilayer.

I'm just glad the answer isn't E. Phenylalanine. That would be a real phony-lalanine!

I almost went with B. Leucine, but then I remembered that's an amino acid, not a phospholipid. C. Lecithin is the way to go.
