What is a lipid that covers the surfaces of plants?
The lipid that covers the surfaces of plants is known as cuticle. The main purpose of this organ is to prevent water loss from the plants.
The multi-layered covering composed of lipid and protein that surrounds most of the axons of the human body?
myelin sheath
Why does increasing the axon diameter also increase the speed of impulse conduction?
Larger diameter axons conduct impulses more rapidly than axons with a smaller diameter. Larger axons tend to be myelinated and conduct impulses rapidly. Myelin is a substance rich in lipid that forms an electrical insulation layer around the axon. This insulating myelin sheath allows impulses to be transmitted more rapidly then small diameter axons that are nonmyelinated.
What organic molecule in cell membranes that permits the diffusion of lipid-soluble materials?
The organic molecule in cell membranes that permits the diffusion of lipid-soluble material is
Are lipids cutin?
Yes, cutin is a lipid. Cutin refers to one of two waxy polymers that are the main components of the plant cuticle which covers the aerial surface of the plants. Wax is usually considered as a lipid.
What is nuclear membrane's function?
It's a is a double lipid bi-layer that encloses the genetic material in eukaryote cells.
What is atheosclerosis?
A disease of the arteries that is characterized by the accumulation of lipid containing material called plaque on the inner walls of the arteries
What is lipohyalinolysis?
Lipohyalinolysis means infiltration of arterial walls with lipid and hyaline material(material that is transparent), especially in small vessels. It can be one of the factor that causes high blood pressure.
Of what material is the envelope present in some animal viruses composed?
The envelope present in some animal viruses is composed of lipids. This lipid material is derived from the cell membrane of the host.
What is the function of Golgi stack?
They convert proteins and lipid into glycol proteins and glyco lipids.They involve in material transport mainly.
What is soxhalation?
Soxhalation refers to the use of a soxhlet extractor. A soxhlet extractor is a piece of laboratory apparatus designed for the extraction of a lipid from a solid material.
What are the monomers of a lipid?
