The portion of the structure of a sphingophospholipid that constitute its tails in the “head and two tails” model has to be stated. 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.

Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The portion of the structure of a sphingophospholipid that have hydrophilic properties in the “head and two tails” model has to be stated.
Concept introduction: The lipids that are composed of a fatty acid and a phosphate group which is joined with a sphingosine molecule and an alcoholic group is known as sphingophospholipids.
There are two ester linkages and one amide linkage must present in the structure of sphingophospholipids.
