One class of phospholipids, the phosphoglycerides,are composed by three parts that define this type of lipid:
- backbone of glycerol
- two long-chain fatty acids
-phosphoric acid
- and one organic group

Sphingolipids are similar in shape but they have a different component. Instead of having glycerol, which is the case for phosphoglycerides, they use sphingosine.
To form a Sphingolipid are necessary:
 -sphingosine as the backbone
-phosphate
-an organic group

"which list contains only vitamins that do not function as coenzymes in energy metabolism?"
galben [10]
The right answer is: vitamin C and choline
Choline (vitamin B4) is the precursor on the one hand acetylcholine (important neurotransmitter and neuromodulator) and on the other hand, the cascade initiated by betaine (intermediate in the biological methylation and precursor of membrane lipids). In this, it is considered, by extension, as an integral part of the family of B vitamins,
Vitamin C protects against cellular aging, is essential for the immune defenses and increases the assimilation of iron of plant origin. It also contributes to the formation of collagen. Its deficiency leads to a disease called scurvy (hence the ascorbic acid name of vitamin C).
