  "term": "Phosphoglycerides",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Glycerol-based phospholipids where two fatty acyl groups are esterified to the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of glycerol, and a phosphate group is esterified to the sn-3 position. The phosphate group is further esterified to a polar head group, such as choline, ethanolamine, or serine. These molecules are primary components of biological membranes.",
