What are some of the other molecules in the plasma membrane?
The cell membrane is mostly composed of phospholipids, but also contains proteins, cholesterol, glycolipids and carbohydrates (mostly glycoproteins).
Which of the following types of molecules are the major structural components of cell membranes?
Phospholipids and proteins. Source; Biology Eighth Edition
What substance in the cell membrane keeps it from breaking too easily?
Phospholipids and cholesterol.
What 2 molecules make up the cell membrane?
The plasma membrane is flexible and is made up of organic molecules called lipids and proteins .
What family of molecules are Cholesterol and other steroids are members of?
Steroids are a family of lipid molecules. A common steroid is cholesterol. Besides steroids, there are other types of lipids, such as triglycerides and phospholipids.
What 2 fat-based molecules make up part of the structure of the plasma membrane?
phospholipid and cholesterol
Stability of an animal cell plasma membrane is enhanced by?
cholesterol molecules because at warm temperatures, cholesterol reduces membrane fluidity by restraining the movement of phospholipids. At low temperatures, cholesterol hinders solidification of the membrane because it prevents the close packing of phospholipids.
Is cholesterol fat?
Cholesterol is a waxy steroid found in animal fat, along with phospholipids and triglycerides. It can also be formed by the liver from molecules within the body.
Proteins with sugar molecules attached to them are called what?
glycoproteins
What makes up the membrane of a cell?
The membrane of a cell is basically made up of a mixture of lipids and proteins. The other components of a membrane of a cell are phospholipids and glycoproteins.
Cholestorol is a type of lipid?
Cholesterol is a type of lipid. Lipids are a group of hydrophobic molecules, which includes fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids, steroids, cholesterol, and some other related compounds.
What is the purpose of cholesterol in a membrane?
Cholesterol helps stabilize the membrane at warm temperatures, but also helps keep the membrane fluid at lower temperatures.
