What does it mean when the cell membrane is a phospholipid bi layer?
Phospholipids are a structural component of the environment
The organic chemicals that help cell membranes to conserve internal fluids are?
lipids, such as phospholipids. These lipids have a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and a hydrophobic (water-fearing) tail, allowing them to form a bilayer structure that helps to retain the internal fluids of the cell. This lipid bilayer acts as a barrier to control the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
What produces phospholipids?
Phospholipids are produced in cell membranes.
What do phospholipids form?
Phospholipids are the major component of cell membranes.
What would happen if the membrane were completely made of polar substance?
The cell would be unable to maintain a stable internal environment.
How does the orientation of the phospholipids in the bilayer allow a cell to interact?
allows a cell to interact with its internal and external environment because Polar hydrophilic heads are water loving
What is an important of the phospholipids in the cell membrane?
They can form a lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer is the barrier that keeps ions, proteins and other molecules where they are needed and prevents them from diffusing into areas where they should not be.The phospholipids help the cell maintain its internal aqueous environment. (Apex)
What helps cell walls to conserve internal fluids?
It maintains the water amount in the cell and a plant needs a defined living space so that it can have support.
The organic chemicals that help cell membranes to conserve internal fluids?
phospholipids
The area around a cell has a high concentration of sodium ions. as a result the cell membrane expands and bursts. which problem was the cell most likely having?
The cell is unable to maintain a stable internal environment
What does it mean when the cell membrane is a phospholipid bi layer?
Phospholipids are a structural component of the environment
What problem was the cell most likely having?
the cell was unable to maintain a stable internal environment.
How Harper cell membrane?
double layer phospholipids forms boundary between cell and surrounding environment and controls passage of materials into and out of cell
Why is it important that phospholipids don't dissolve in water?
Since phospholipids make up cell membranes, it is important for them not to dissolve in water, because the internal and external environment of cells is aqueous. Without the phospholipid bilayer, the cells and their environments would just all dissolve into each other and there would be no cells.
The basic unit of the cell membrane is the?
Phospholipids.

What is the semifluid internal environment of the cell?
Cytoplasm
