What prevents lipid from mixing water?
Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.
Stability of an animal cell plasma membrane is enhanced by?
cholesterol molecules because at warm temperatures, cholesterol reduces membrane fluidity by restraining the movement of phospholipids. At low temperatures, cholesterol hinders solidification of the membrane because it prevents the close packing of phospholipids.
Why do minerals that have the non-silicate crystalline structure called closest packing have high density?
Minerals with closest packing have high density because their atoms are arranged in a way that minimizes empty space between them. This close arrangement of atoms allows for more atoms to be packed into a given volume, resulting in higher density. Closest packing is a highly efficient crystalline structure that maximizes atomic packing, leading to increased density.
What nmacromolecule is not organized in repeating units of monomers?
That are the lipids. They have fatty acids and glucerols
Why do minerals that have the non-silicate crystalline structure called the closest packing have high density?
Close packing basically means that the atoms are so close together, that they can not get any closer to eachother. This means that the empty space between the atoms is minimized. Density is weight per volume, so the less empty volume there is, the higher the density will be.
What prevents lipids mixing with water?
Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.

What prevents lipids frommixing with water?
Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.
What does close packing mean?
error
Why do you need cholesterol in the cell membrane?
It prevents the lipids on the cell membrane from sticking together
What is the one limiting factors that prevents humans from using lipids for energy rather than carbohydrates?
because lipids form ketone bodies, which may be toxic.
Why solids and liquids have definite shape?
due to there close packing structure.

Why do minerals that have the nonsilicate crystalline structure called closest packing have high density?
Minerals of a nonsilicate crystal have very high densities because their crystal structures are based on the packing of atoms that are as close together as possible. This structure is called this closest packing.
How does hydrophobia affect lipids?
Hydrophobia means the fear of water. Animals infected with rabies will show this because they know that when they try to drink water, their throats close. But there is no connection with lipids.
What prevents the eyelids from sticking together when the eyes close?
tarsal gland secretions
