Phospholipids are major components of cell membranes which contain a (1) head and two hydrophobic tails. A different lipid class, the (2), consists of three fatty acids bonded to glycerol and is primarily used for long-term energy storage. In animal cell membranes, (3) helps to regulate membrane fluidity. This molecule also serves as a precursor for the synthesis of (4) hormones.
