Which compounds contain sphingolipids? They all contain fatty acid joined to a long chain alcohol. They all contain ceramide joined to a polar head group. The enzyme hexokinase catalyzes the following reaction: Glucose + ATP -> glucose-6-phosphate + ADP. Which compound below would you choose as the best competitive inhibitor for the hexokinase reaction? (a) CHOH or (b) CHOH. Which of the following is characteristic of biological membranes? Membranes contain proteins and amphipathic lipids. Membranes have an asymmetrical bilayer structure. Membranes have hydrophobic groups on the interior and exterior surfaces. Membranes contain lipids that polymerize into one large molecule. Which membrane lipid contains an amide bond? (a) phosphatidylserine or (b) sphingomyelin.
