Explanation / Answer

Answer: Option E

Both glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids contain two hydrocarbon tails and a polar head group. In glycerophospholipids, two fatty acyl chains acts as two hydrocarbon tails and a phosphate aspolar head group.Gangliosides a class of sphingolipids are present and concentrated on cell surfaces, with the two hydrocarbon chains of the ceramide moiety embedded in the plasma membrane and the oligosaccharides located on the extracellular surface, where they present points of recognition for extracellular molecules or surfaces of neighboring cells
