What provides support for cell and has two subparts?
The cells is what supports on one thing. The one thing that the cell supports is the lipid bilayer.
Explain how the structure of the lipid bilayer is related to the environment?
well as you can see, the lipid bilayer has many parts to its related environment
What forms secretory vesicles?
Lipid Bilayer
Why do proteins remain embedded in the lipid bilayer?
The protein's amino acids that are within the lipid bilayer generally have lipophilic side chains. They form a helix with the side chains facing out, so the lipids within the bilayer attract and stabilize this arrangement of the protein, keeping it in the lipid bilayer
What is the structure of cellular inclusion?
A lipid bilayer (sometimes double bilayer) with embedded proteins for targeting and support.
What is another name for the phospholipid bilayer?
It depends on which lipid bilayer you're talking about. There is the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds eukaryotic cells, cholesterol phospholipid bilayers, protein lipid bilayers, phase transition lipid bilayer, lipid bilayer membrane...
What forms the boundary of the nucleus?
The nucleus has the same sort of boundary as the cell itself has. That is a lipid bilayer.
What provides support for cell and has two subparts?
The cells is what supports on one thing. The one thing that the cell supports is the lipid bilayer.
What is the lipid bilayer impermeable to?
The lipid bilayer is impermeable to large molecules and small polar molecules. Only water and gas can easily pass through the bilayer.
Explain how the structure of the lipid bilayer is related to the environment?
well as you can see, the lipid bilayer has many parts to its related environment
What has the author H Ti Tien written?
H. Ti Tien has written: 'Planar bilayer lipid membranes (Progress in surface science)' 'Bilayer lipid membranes (BLM)' -- subject(s): Bilayer lipid membranes
A lipid bilayer is characteristic of all membranes?
A lipid bilayer is characteristic of all biological membranes. Some membranes are double bilayers.
How large can a lipid bilayer sheet be?
A lipid bilayer is a very thin layer that is in between lipid molecules. It is about as think as a piece of paper and can be as large as it needs to be to contain the necessary cells.
Whattype of bilayer makes up most of the cell membrane?
lipid bilayer
What is the double layered sheet that makes up nearly all cell membranes called?
60%phospholipids and 30% proteins and10% carbohydrates
What is lipid bilayer?
thin membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules.
How does lipid soluble move across the plasma membrane?
by dissolving in the lipid bilayer.
