What else can I help you with?
Explain why the term fluid mosaic model is used to describe the plasma membrane?
the arrangement of the molecules that make up a cell mebrane
Can lipids dissolve in blood plasma?
Yes, lipids can dissolve in blood plasma. However, since blood is mostly water, lipids such as cholesterol and triglycerides typically require carrier molecules called lipoproteins to travel in the bloodstream. Lipoproteins help transport lipids through the aqueous environment of the blood.
Why are lipids difficult to transport in plasma?
The two types of lipids, namely oils and fats, do not mix with water, so they need to be attached to a transporter molecule, either LDL or HDL, that is water soluble and attaches to the lipid and passages it through the blood plasma.
Which of the following plasma lipoproteins is the most soluble?
Lipoproteins are soluble in lipids; plasma is a suspension in blood.
What is number one component of plasma membrane?
lipids and cholesterol
Why are there are two layers of lipids in the plasma membrane?
cuase they want to be
What is the plasma membrane of a cell made of?
It is made up of protein and lipids
What molecules create a double layer of the plasma membrane?
proteins and lipids.
What types of macromolecules compose the plasma membrane?
Lipids, Proteins and Carbohydrates
These are primary molecules making up plasma membranes in cells?
Phospholipids are the primary molecules that make up plasma membranes in cells. Other important molecules include cholesterol, glycolipids, and proteins. These components help maintain the structure and function of the plasma membrane.
The cell or plasma membrane has which macromolecule in it?
The two macromolecules are protein, carbs, and lipids.
What is made from lipids and diffuse freely into cells through the plasma membrane?
protiens
