What effect does a detergent have on the integrity of cells if a lipid is added to the detergent?

A detergent would bring about the deterioration of cell integrity. This is because the cell's membrane consists of lipids and proteins. Most importantly, however, is that the cell membrane is spanned by a phospholipid bilayer and, according to the information given about the effect of detergent on lipids, the cell membrane would be destroyed since it is made up primarily of lipids.

∙ 14y agoLaundry detergent contains powerful surfactants such as sodium dodecyl sulfate. These detergents characteristically aggregate lipids and denature proteins. When detergents are absorbed by a plant, the detergents can cause cell membranes to collapse and membranes to function improperly. This can cause part or all of a plant to die.

What is the use of sarkosyl in DNA isolation?
it is SDS like detergent added at to lyse cells
Why is detergent added to the extraction buffer?
The detergent was added because it breaks open the cells by destroying fatty membranes that enclose the cell, thus releasing the DNA into the solution.
What is the function of sodium deoxycholate in media?

Steps to know the effect of detergent to seed germination?
Bean seedlings would be negatively affected by water that was polluted by detergent. Most likely the bean seedlings would not sprout or would end up having a mutation.

What enzyme is used to dissolve heart tissue into individual cells?
First a specialized detergent is used without affecting the integrity of the protein in the tissue and then recombinant endonuclease is used to degrade Nucleic acid.
What part of the membrane does detergent effect?
Detergent effects the phosopholipid bi-layer. Because it is lipophilic, it emulsifies the bi-layer, causing it to form miscelles. As a result, it is disrupted, and therefore anything inside of the cell can leak out. (eg. betacynin in beetroot cells)

How do cells monitor DNA integrity?
Cells monitor DNA integrity by using enzymes. Enzymes search for errors, for example, double strand breaks. Enzymes provide the function of a catalyst in order to bring about a particular biochemical reaction.

What does SDS do to cells?
SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) solution is an anionic detergent. Detergents dissolve lipid.
