Question
Chapter 8.7, Problem 5QQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: When the “head and two tails” structural model is applied to a sphingophospholipid, then the two tails have to be identified.
Concept introduction: In sphingophospholipids, the platform molecule is sphingosine to which one fatty acid and one phosphate group are attached. An alcohol is attached to the phosphate group. Like glycerophospholipids, it also possess a “head and two tails” structure.
