Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description given in the question matches the characteristics of a plasmalogen, which is a type of glycerophospholipid with a vinyl ether linkage at the C1 substituent. This vinyl ether is more easily oxidized than the ester linkage found in other glycerophospholipids.
