The ends of DNA molecules form structures called what?
Chromatin Threads
What are the symbols that use electron dot notation to represent molecules called?
Lewis dot structures.
Why cant water simply diffuse through the phospholipid bilayer?
Because there is a hydrophobic core in the phospholipid bilayer, it may be difficult for water molecules to pass through the membrane. Therefore, there are proteins that aid this process called aquaporins.
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 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.
Are fatty acid tails of a phospholipid molecules polar?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
What are the structures in the cell called?
molecules
What are the structures formed by covalent bonds called?
They are called molecules.
What is a material that allows certain molecules to pass through it called?
The Plasma Membrane, which has a phospholipid bi-layer.
Two-layer sandwich of molecules that surrounds an organella or cell is called a?
phospholipid bilayer If you need help with any other questions just email ( owlcityfan37@gmail.com )
Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the bloodstream through tiny structures called what?
Nutrient molecules pass from the small intestine into the through tiny structures called villi.
He fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The ends of DNA molecules form structures called what?
Chromatin Threads
A lipid that forms the framework of a cell membrane?
It is called a "phospholipid bilayer". Its made of molecules containing a hydrophilic phosphate head on one side and a hydrophobic lipid hydrocarbon tail on the other. There are essentially two layers of these molecules with the tails facing each other and the heads facing lining the interior and exterior of the cell.
The huge molecules are coiled in to hot dog shaped structures called?
Chromosome(s)
What is a phospholipid bilayer and where would you find it?
Phospholipids are polymers made up of two fatty acids, glycerol, a phosphate group and a polar molecule. A cell's membrane consists phospholipids where they form two layers (with the polar molecules facing opposite ends) to separate the interior of the cell from the outside environment. This is called a phospholipid bilayer.
What are the symbols that use electron dot notation to represent molecules called?
Lewis dot structures.
