(a)
Interpretation: The building blocks which represents the fatty acid residues in the given block diagram of sphingophospholipid have to be predicted.
Concept introduction: In sphingophospholipids, the platform molecule is sphingosine to which one fatty acid and one phosphate group are attached. An alcohol is attached to the phosphate group. There are two ester linkages and one amide linkage present in the structure of sphingophospholipids. There are two ester linkages and one amide linkage present in the structure of sphingophospholipids.
