The difference in chemical structure between cerebrosides and gangliosides is that gangliosides contain more complex carbohydrates than cerebrosides. O are based on glycerol and cerebrosides on sphingosine. O are based on sphingosine and cerebrosides on glycerol. O are found in many kinds of cells, but cerebrosides mainly in brain cells. O have larger fatty acid molecules than cerebrosides.

Metabolic pathways

Metabolism is defined as the group of life-supporting, enzyme-mediated chemical reactions in organisms. A metabolic pathway is a set of these chemical reactions that involve anabolism (synthesis of complex biomolecules) and catabolism (breakdown of biomolecules into small molecules) that occur inside a cell. Metabolites are the reacting substances, products, and intermediate substances of an enzymatic process that are altered by a series of chemical events catalyzed by enzymes.
