How are phospholipids distinguishable from other lipids?
They have a phosphate group "head" and lipid "tail."
What is comprised of a phosphate group linking a diglyceride to a nonlipid group and can be synthesized primarily from fatty acids in the body?
Phospholipids
Does rna have a phosphate group or a hydroxyl group?
Each RNA nucleotide has a phosphate group.
What is sub-classification of phospholipid?
Phospholipids are a class of lipids and are a major component of all cell membranes as they can form lipid bilayer.The further classification if a s follows:Most phospholipids contain a diglyceride,a phosphate group,and a simple organic molecule such as choline.Diacylglyceride structuresphosphatidic acid (phosphatidate) (PA)phosphatidylethanolamine (cephalin) (PE)phosphatidylecholine (lecithin) (PC)phosphatidylserine(PS)Phosphoinositides: Phosphatidylinositol(PI)Phosphatidylinositol phosphate(PIP)Phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate(PIP2)phosphatidylinositol triphosphate(PIP3)Phosphosphingolipids Ceramide phosphorylcholine(sphingomylin)Ceramide phosphorylethanolameneCeramide phosphorylglycerol
What is the compound name of PO4?
PO43- is the phosphate ion.
Is phospholipid protein?
No, they are called phospholipids because they are made of lipids and phosphate group. Most phospholipids contain a diglyceride, a phosphate group, and a simple organic molecule such as choline.
What is the Functional group found in phospholipids and all nucleotides?
2 fatty acids, glycerol, and a phosphate group
How are phospholipids distinguishable from other lipids?
They have a phosphate group "head" and lipid "tail."
What is comprised of a phosphate group linking a diglyceride to a nonlipid group and can be synthesized primarily from fatty acids in the body?
Phospholipids
What are molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that form biological membranes?
phospholipids
Are phospholipids charged at pH 7?
yes. pka of the phosphate group is about 3. Since most phospholipids are zwitterions, the overall charges can be zero, though.
What is each phospholipid made up of?
Phospholipid heads are made of a glyceride with a phosphate group.
What is the phospholipids in the cell membrane composed of?
A phosphate group into fatty acid chains
What 2 kinds of molecules are important in making cell membranes?
A phosphate group and a lipid (to form a phospholipid).
What are the three components of phospholipids?
1.a charged phosphate group 2.a glycerol 3.2 fatty acid chains
What are the parts of a phospholipid molecule?
two layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
What are characteristics of phospholipids?
They have a hydrophilic head which contains a phosphate group and hydrophobic heads that are made up of chains of fatty aids.
