Which molecule has hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties and would be found in plasma membranes?
That would be phospholipids. They are a major component of the plasma membrane and contain hydrophilic, as well as, hydrophobic properties.
The major lipid used to make cell membranes is?
phospholipid
Are the major lipids of plasma membranes?
The major part of the cell membrane is the phospholipid. Others include glycolipids and cholesterols.
Why do animal cell membranes have different shapes then plant cell membranes?
Because the animal cells contain cholesterol as the major sterol in the plasma membrane whereas in plant cells the plasma membrane contain stigmasterol as the major sterol. How could you not know this? Are you a 1st grader?
What major macromolecules are found in lettuce salad with ranch dressing?
lipid
What is the major lipid found in membranes?
phospholipids

That would be phospholipids. They are a major component of the plasma membrane and contain hydrophilic, as well as, hydrophobic properties.
What the major lipids of plasma membranes?
The plasma membrane is formed primarily of a phosphor lipid bi-layer which can be saturated or unsaturated depending on the most profound fat ingested by the body. Composed of glycerol, phosphorus, and H2O (i think). Phosphor Lipids are commonly the only lipid found in the plasma membrane, however there are active protein channels and also passive channels activated by pressure formed by potassium inside the cell and sodium outside.
The major lipid used to make cell membranes is?
phospholipid
Are the major lipids of plasma membranes?
The major part of the cell membrane is the phospholipid. Others include glycolipids and cholesterols.
What is a phospholid?
a lipid containing a phosphate group in its molecule. are a class of lipids and major component of cell membranes.
Is membrane permeability a major function of the plasma protein in the blood?
yes, cell membranes are semipermeable.
Why do animal cell membranes have different shapes then plant cell membranes?
Because the animal cells contain cholesterol as the major sterol in the plasma membrane whereas in plant cells the plasma membrane contain stigmasterol as the major sterol. How could you not know this? Are you a 1st grader?
What major macromolecules are found in lettuce salad with ranch dressing?
lipid
What is the major anionic electrolyte found in plasma?
Chloride
What are the 4 main parts of the plasma membrane?
4 major parts of a plasma membrane * proteins * lipid bilayer * carbohydrates * cholesterol
Describe how phospholipid molecules are oriented in the plasma membrane of a cell?
The plasma membrane and other membranes of a cell are composed mostly of proteins and a type of lipid called phospholipids. A phospholipids molecule is structured with two fatty acids. The two fatty acids at one end (the tail) of the phospholipids are hydrophobic (not attracted to water). The other end (the head) of the molecule includes a phosphate group, which is negatively charged and hydrophilic (attracted to water). Thus, the tail end of a phospholipids is pushed away by water, while the head is attracted to water.
