What is the Difference between Phospholipids and triglecrol?
There is one major difference regarding the structure of a phospholipid, and a triglyceride. The triglyceride is made of a glyceride molecule. Three lipids, called fatty acids, are bound to this molecule. Phospholipids also contain glyceride and fatty acids. However, instead of three fatty acids, they only have two. The third bound molecule is a phosphate.
What is the name of a carbohydrate polymer or giant carbohydrate called?
polysaccharide
What is similar to a fat and found in cell membranes?
A fat molecule that has similar properties is called a lipid examples would include oils,waxes, and steroids
What are the cylindrical extensions of a plasma membrane?
fine structure of plasma mambrane that can only be seen with electron microscope is called ultra structure of plasma mambrane the ultra structure of plasma mambrane is that this mambrane is consist of phospholipid bilayer in which protien molecules are embbeded at intervals in mosaic mannaer.
What is the plasma membrane aka phospholipid bilayer?
The plasma membrane is the limiting membrane of a cell. It is called Phospholipid Bilayer because it consists of proteins and lipids.
What is the structure called?
A phospholipid attached to a carbohydrate (sugar) chain is called a Glycolipid.
What is the name of the carbohydrate attached to phospholipid?
A phospholipid attached to a carbohydrate (sugar) chain is called a Glycolipid. -A protein attached to a carbohydrate is called a Glycoprotein.
He fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
Structure attached to the lesser curvature of the stomach?
The structure attached to the lesser curvature of the stomach is a mesentery called the lesser omentum. this receives bile from the liver and sends it to the stomach.

The phospholipid bilayer that surrounds and maintains the integrity of the cell is called a plasma membrane.
What are the three segments attached to the glycerol in a phospholipid?
A hydrophilic phosphate group and two hydrocarbon chains.
