Understanding Complex Lipids: Glycerophospholipids and Sphingolipids
Complex lipids play crucial roles in cellular structure and function. Glycerophospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, are amphipathic molecules with hydrophobic fatty acid chains and hydrophilic head groups. They are key components of cell membranes. Sphingolipids, including sphingomyelin and cer
