The use of sterols and phospholipids?
Phospholipids are what allow our body to utilize water and fat. they can also act as carriers in the blood. Phospholipids are found in the cell walls. Sterols: are types of fat that consit of many compound within the body such as bile, sex homonoes, vitamines D and cortisols. They are not used for energy both phospholipids and Sterols are two of the remaining thre categories of lipids
What are the differences or similarities between Phospholipids and gylcolipids?
Phospholipids - Phosphorylated lipids (Phosphate group added by phosphorylation) Glycolipids - Glycosylated lipids (Glycosyl or carbohydrate molecule is added by glycosylation) Both phospholipids and glycolipids are derivatives of lipids. They form essential component of cell membrane which plays a role in structure maintenance and also help in eliciting certain immune reactions.
What produces phospholipids?
Phospholipids are produced in cell membranes.
What form the majority of the plasma membrane of cells?
phospholipids
What do phospholipids form?
Phospholipids are the major component of cell membranes.
Why are phospholipids not an essensial nutrient?
Because the body produces these for cell membranes on its own.
How are phospholipids and cholesterol alike?
Yes, the lipid part refers to cholesterol. This is an essential part of every cell in the body because cholesterol is necessary for the formation of the cell membrane.

Is lecithin a essential nutrient?
Yes it is. Lecithin is the most abundant of the phospholipids. It is a fatty food substance, which serves as a structural material for every cell in the body. It is an essential constituent of the human brain and nervous system. It forms 30 per cent of the dry weight of the brain and 17 per cent of the nervous system.

Name 3 classes of lipids found in the body and in foods?
Triglycerides, Phospholipids, and Sterol
Are triglycerides the most common lipids in the human body?
No. Phospholipids are. They form the membrane around cells and you have trillions of cells in your body.
