Solution
The correct option is A STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
The polar phosphate group in phospholipids form the hydrophilic head of the molecule.
They attract water molecules.
Two non polar fatty acids chain in Phospholipids constitute the hydrophobic head of the molecule.
They attract oil molecules.
Phospholipids are emulsifiers.
For example, Lecithion phospholipid present in eggs has emulsifying property which makes egg useful in ice cream manufacture.
Thus, STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1.
