Lipid bilayers comprising high concentrations of gangliosides are very rare. Which of the following explanation is/are true? . Please note, there could be more than one answer. Gangliosides are not used as energy storage molecules. The hydrophobic tails on gangliosides form a conical shape rather than a cylindrical shape making close packing difficult. Gangliosides contain large headgroups making close packing difficult Gangliosides contain trans fatty acids resulting in a bent hydrophobic tail making close packing difficult Gangliosides contain several sugar molecules that can only localize to the cytosol preventing bilayer formation
