Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sphingolipids are a type of lipid, but they are not the predominant phospholipid in cell membranes. Phosphoglycerides are the most common type of phospholipid found in cell membranes. Sphingolipids do play important roles in membranes, particularly in the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, but they are not the most abundant type of phospholipid.
