Why is a cell membrane described as a bilayer?
Phospholipids are lipids that are essential to cells because they make up cell membranes. When phospholipids are added to water, they self-assemble into double-layered aggregates, or bilayers, that shield their hydrophobic portions from water. The phospholipid bilayer forms a boundary between the cell and its external environment.
How does protocell relate to true cells?
True cells are made up of protocells. Protocells are a collection of lipids that are self organized and thought of as helping in the origin of life.
Why the plants germinate?
water and oxygen. i think they are both self explanatory
What is the main idea of writing a science project when the answer is which one freezes the fastest water salt water sugar or water its self?
the answer is water with salt
What white form element is highly flammable?
White phosphorus is highly flammable. It will self ignite on contact to air.
How do lipids mimic cells?
When lipids are underwater they bunch up together to form a little ball. Their water-loving heads face outward, giving them contact with the fluid. Their water-hating tails poke into the center of the ball, away from the wet stuff, they self assemble that look like little cells.
What is a bicelle?
A bicelle is a self-assembled aggregate of phospholipid in water, which combines flat bilayer-like and curved micelle-like features.
Why white phosphorus has to be kept in water?
It self-ignites upon contact with air.
Bottom up approach in nano fabrication?
self assembled nano structures......
Is Rna part of the origins of Life?
Wow! Great Question! Short Answer is Yes. Longer Answer is Yes - They have produced in the lab solutions of Rnas that have self-assembled into self-replicating systems.

Can a doctor contact your parents about your self injuries if you're underage Northern Ireland?
Yes, a doctor can contact your parents if you are self harming yourself in Northern Ireland.
Is the cell wall composed of lipids?
The cell membrane is made of phospholipids.The plant cell wall is mostly composed of cellulose, the fungal cell wall of chitin and the algal cell wall of a polysaccharide (like cellulose) or a glycoprotein.
What is an azotosome?
An azotosome is a theoretical nitrogen-based counterpart to liposome structures composed of acrylonitrile self-assembled membrane in a liquid methane bath.
Will a water softener get rid of brown water?
There is a good chance that it will, however I would recommend that you not self diagnose but contact a Water Quality Association certified professional to help you with your options. You can find one in your area by going to wqa.org or you can send your request to aquaserve4u.com
