Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Four major phospholipids predominate in the plasma membrane of many mammalian cells: phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, and sphingomyelin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Phospholipid biosynthesis and distribution within plant cells. The biosynthesis of phospholipids occurs primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where a fatty acid chain is transferred from acyl-CoA to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) resulting in the formation of phosphatic acid (PA) (Figure 1) [15].
Detailed explanation-3: -The main animal sources of phospholipids include eggs, milks, meats and marine phospholipids.
