Answer» ong>Answer: Sphingolipid, any member of a class of LIPIDS (fat-soluble constituents of LIVING cells) containing the organic ALIPHATIC amino alcohol sphingosine or a substance structurally SIMILAR to it. Among the most simple sphingolipids are the ceramides (sphingosine plus a fatty acid), widely distributed in small amounts in plant and animal tissues. The other sphingolipids are DERIVATIVES of ceramides. |
