The compounds that are present in both waxes and sphingomylin are FATTY ACID AND LONG CHAIN ALCOHOL.
Waxes are diverse type of organic substances which are hydrophobic in nature and they are found in both plant and animals. Sphingomyelin is a type of sphingolipid, which are found in animal cell membranes. It is especially abundant in the membranous myelin sheath which surround some nerve cells.
