When phospholipid molecules are mixed with water they form small balloon structures called?
Liposomes
What are the specialized parts of the phospholipid bilayer and how do their structures relate to the structure of the plasma membrane?
that meand there no plasma membrene
What structure in a cell is composed mostly of a Phospholipid bilayer?
Most structures consist of a phospholipid bi-layer although that term is mostly associated with the cell wall in my experience. other structures such as the rough and smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum also use phospholipid bi-layers to partian themselves from the rest of the cell.
How are the structures of the phospholipid bilayer and the plasma membrane related?
The phospholipid bilayer is the primary structural component of the plasma membrane. It consists of two layers of phospholipids arranged with their hydrophilic heads facing outward towards the aqueous environment and their hydrophobic tails facing inward, creating a barrier that separates the interior of the cell from the extracellular environment. Therefore, the phospholipid bilayer forms the basis of the plasma membrane's structure and function.
Is cholesterol a phospholipid?
No it is in fact not a phospholipid just a lipid. A phospholipid needs a phosphate group and cholesterols molecular formula is C-27 H-46 O and with no Phosphate it can not be a phospholipid.
Does plasma membrane have phospholipid layer?
A phospholipid bi-layer.
What general type of molecules is a phospholipid?
The head and tail is a phospholipid molecule
He fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
Is testosterone a phospholipid?
No... It is a lipid because it is a hormone and hormones are lipids, but it is not a phospholipid.
Is a phospholipid found in a plasma membrane?
Yes, that is why one of the membrane's names is, phospholipid bilayer.
What are the fatty acids in the tail of the phospholipid molecule?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The fatty acids in a tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
