What is an amino alcohol?
An amino alcohol is an organic compound containing both an amino and an aliphatic hydroxyl functional group.
Does a Sphingomyelin contain glycerol?
No
Does glycerol have a amino group?
no it doesnt it is a triol, 3 alcohol groups
Does glycerol have an amino group?
No. An amino group contains one nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms, and are found in amino acids. Glycerol is a molecule that when bonded to three fatty acids, forms a triglyceride molecule.
What are the names of the two types of sphingosine-based lipids?
Sphingomyelin is a phospholipid found in cell surface membranes (plasma membranes). Glucosylcerebroside is a glycolipid found in the myelin sheath of nerve cells (neurones). Both contain sphingosine.

Does a Sphingomyelin contain glycerol?
No
What is Sphingomyelin?
Sphingomyelin (SPH) is a type of sphingolipid found in animal cell membranes, especially in the membranous myelin sheath that surrounds some nerve cell axons. It usually consists of phosphorylcholine and ceramide. In humans SPH represents ~85% of all sphingolipids.
What is the myelin sheath particularly rich in?
Sphingomyelin
Is tyrosine an alcohol?
No. Tyrosine (Tyr, or Y) is an amino acid.
Are amino acids found in plants animals or both?
Ribosomes are found in both plants and animals.
Can hydroxyl groups be found on all amino acids?
No they can not be found on all amino acids that is a false statement
Does glycerol have a amino group?
no it doesnt it is a triol, 3 alcohol groups
What is an aminoethanol?
An aminoethanol is an amino alcohol ethanolamine or any of its N-derivatives.
Which molecule is common to the metabolism of carbohydrates fatty acids amino acids and alcohol?
The metabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids, amino acids, and alcohol produces the same molecule for energy: ATP (adenosine triphoshate).
