Sphingolipids and waxes are important classes of lipids found in biological membranes, each with unique structures and functions. Sphingolipids, including sphingomyelins and glycosphingolipids, play crucial roles in nerve transmission, cell recognition, and tissue immunity. Waxes, on the other hand,
