merge
To small to be its own article. Needs to be merged under the larger group of acids.--Esprit15d 20:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Maybe merge with phospholipids, not with acids. Stable attractor 08:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

german translation
I believe that this is the correct translation of the german term Phosphoglyzeride and have added the interwiki link as such. Bobby1011 03:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Adding more discriptions to structure, uses and metabolism
Here are some things that I think would make this article better. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I think more information about the structure of glycerophospholipids needs to be given especially in regards to it's amphiphilLic nature. A diagram showing the two fatty acid chains, the phosphate group attached to the glycerol backbone would be good to further explain the structure. Also more information about the metabolism needs to be explained. How it is metabolised in prokaryotes and euckaryotes have been stated but an explanation to this processes have not been given. I would like to add more explanation to that. Again, a lot of emphasis were laid on the examples of glycerophospholipids but not much on it's uses in memberanes and emulsification which I think need more explanation. The order of the article seems good except for that I think the nomenclature should come before the structure and the metabolism should be placed before it's uses.
