What is used to make the lipid bilayer found in cell membranes in the body?
Lipids, or fat, is used to insulate the body and found in all cell membranes. Fats have insulating capacity, but they are bad conductors of heat.
Which nutrient is a key component in cell membranes neurons and certain hormones?
FAT
What is used to store energy and make cell membranes and hormones?
Lipids, or fat.
Does fat provide the major material from which cell membranes are made in the human body?
Yes
Fat is the main component of?
Fats are major constituents of cell membranes.

Why can molecules that are fat-soluble permeate across a cell membrane?
Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer. Cellular fluid (cytosol) and the cell's organelles are contained by the cell's membrane, which is composed of a lipid bilayer. Lipids are a type of fat. Because a cell's membrane is composed of fat, only fat-soluble molecules are able to dissolve through the membrane into the cytosol.

Does fats maintain your cell membrane?
yes - cell membranes are composed of a type of fat known as a phospholipid. That is why some fat is necessary in a person's diet.
Does fat provide the major material from which cell membranes are made in the human body?
Yes
Fat is the main component of?
Fats are major constituents of cell membranes.
What characteristics of cell membranes may explain why fat soluble substances such as chloroform and ether rapidly affect cells?
The fact that cell membranes are semi-permiable creates openings for the substances to enter.

Are fats used as parts of biological membranes?
Proteins are a major constituent of biomembranes, accounting for as much as 50% of the volume. The primary molecules found in biological membranes around cells are lipids (biological fat or wax molecules).
What is the value of carbohydrate and fat in the human body?
They have many uses, both are used for energy. All your cell membranes have a lipid layer, which is a type of fat.
When Fatty acids are hydrolyzed they yield what?
transported across fat cell membranes by fatty acid binding proteins
