1. cholesterol molecules

2. triacylglycerols (triacyglycerides)

3. sphingomyelins

4. fatty acids

5. glycerophospholipids

There are two answers. Thank you! I thought it was fatty acids and triacylglyercols

    Look for a molecule that has a water-soluble "head" and hydrocarbon (hydrophobic) "tail(s)."
