Answer:

The simplest glycosphingolipids are called cerebrosides, which consist of a single sugar molecule (either glucose or galactose) attached to a long-chain sphingosine base. They are found in the cell membranes of the brain and nervous system and play important roles in cellular recognition and signaling.
