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 type of macromolecule is phospholipid?
protein
Is keratin a phospholipid?

What is the name of the carbohydrate attached to phospholipid?
A phospholipid attached to a carbohydrate (sugar) chain is called a Glycolipid. -A protein attached to a carbohydrate is called a Glycoprotein.
Is hemoglobin considered a phospholipid?
Actiually, hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen throughout your body.
Does osmosis move phospholipid bilayer or protein channel?
Osmosis moves water molecules across the phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane. Protein channels help facilitate the movement of water and other molecules by providing a pathway through the membrane.
What is another name for the phospholipid bilayer?
It depends on which lipid bilayer you're talking about. There is the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds eukaryotic cells, cholesterol phospholipid bilayers, protein lipid bilayers, phase transition lipid bilayer, lipid bilayer membrane...
Is a protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a peripheral protein a trans membrane protein a phospholipid an enzyme or an entirely outside the phospholipid?
A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a transmembrane protein. Transmembrane proteins span the lipid bilayer, allowing them to create channels for ions to pass through the membrane. Peripheral proteins are typically found on the surface of the membrane and do not form channels.
Embedded in the phospholipid bilayer?
Protein Molecules
What is faciliteted diffusion?
moecules passing accross the phospholipid bilayer, AGIANST the graient because the carrier protein is using ATP to do this e.g. glucose
What components of the plasma cell membrane of an animal cell would you find at its innermost surface directly exposed to the cytoplasm?
Phospholipid head and protein
What component of a phospholipid membrane helps the cell interact with its polar watery environment?
Membrane proteins.
In which layer of the epidermal cells is the waterproofed protein?
I'm not sure what your question is asking - if you mean what waterproofs cells in general, it's the phospholipid bilayer. In cells, the phospholipid bilayer has a hydrophobic (water hating) tail, pointed inwards, and a hydrophillic head (water loving) head on the outside.
