What makes up cells membrane?
The Cell Membrane is made up of a bilayer (double layer) of Phospholipids. These Phosophlipids are oriented by its hydrophobic (water fearing) tails while its head are hydrophilic (water loving).
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
When mixed with water phospholipids spontaneously form membranes. what properties of phospholipids cause this to happen?
Hydrophilic phosphate groups that are attracted to water and hydrophobic fatty acid tails that avoid water.
Tails of phospholipids that dont like water?
Phospholipids have a lipid tail. This is non-polar and therefore hydrophobic (water hating). The phosphate head is polar and hydrophilic (water-loving).
How do Phospholipid interact with water?
Phospholipids do not interact with water, because water is polar and lipids are nonpolar.
Phospholipids can move freely and allow water and other hydrophobic molecules to pass through into or out of the cell. This is known as simple sugars because it does not requires?
energy is not required.
Why do the tales of the phospholipids point inward?
Tales are hydrophobic.So they move away from water.

Do phospholipids form hydrogen bonds with water?

Can phospholipids move laterally along the plane of the membrane?
Yes they can!
Water-loving heads of phospholipids?
hydrophilic

Hydrophilic phosphate groups that are attracted to water and hydrophobic fatty acid tails that avoid water.
What are tails of phospholipids that dont like water?
Hydrophobic
Why did seed productions help plants move to land?
It made it possible to move water within the plant structure.

Phospholipids have a lipid tail. This is non-polar and therefore hydrophobic (water hating). The phosphate head is polar and hydrophilic (water-loving).
What kind of lipid make up bilayer that forms cell membranes?
Phospholipids make up this layer. Phospholipids belong to the family of biological polymers.
