The Endoplasmic reticulum. The Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis (ribosomes are attached to the surface, giving it a 'rough' appearance), and the Smooth ER is involved in lipid (and other) production.

What types of food contain lipids?
Lipids are organic compounds that are insouluble in water and includes fats, oils, and waxes. Lipids are used to make cell membranes and steroid hormones and to store energy.
Are amino acids example of lipids?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are in a different category than are lipids, which can also be classified as fats. Examples of lipids are phospholipids (in cell membranes), steroids, glycerols and fatty acids, and cholesterol. If you want to know more about the role of amino acids in Protein synthesis (because this is why they exist at all--to make protein), then I would look at this presentation: http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/index.asp?objID=AP1302
What are 4 molecules that make up the cell membrane?
Lipids are molecules themselves. It doesn't make sense to ask what molecules "make them up." But there are atoms that make up lipids. These atoms are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are also four kinds of lipids, these are phospholipids, steroids, fats, and waxes.
Which system of folded membranes functions as a internal delivery system?
The envelopeThe envelope isn't even part of any cell. The Golgi Apparatus is the correct answer. The Golgi uses vesicles to transport waste, nutrients (anything that needs transporting out of the cell) to the cell membrane. Stuff that goes into the Golgi apparatus goes in the cis- side and comes out the trans- side in vesicles.
What molecules make up proteins?
amino acids
What is a system of double membranes that make lipids?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
A system of double membranes that make lipids is called?
Endoplasmic Reticulum
Does biological molecules proteins and lipids have cell membranes?
Proteins and lipids don't have cell membranes but are the molecules that make up the bulk of what a cell membrane is.
What does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum make?
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum contains enzymes that synthesize lipids that are used to make membranes.
What kinds of lipids make up the bilayer forms cell membranes?
phospholipids
What kinds of lipids make up the bilateral that forms cell membranes?
phospholpipids.
What kind of lipids make up the bilayer that forms cell membranes?
Phospholipids
What kind of lipids make up the bilayer that form cell membranes?
Phospholipids
What is used to store energy and make cell membranes and hormones?
Lipids, or fat.
What is used to make the lipid bilayer found in cell membranes in the body?
Lipids, or fat, is used to insulate the body and found in all cell membranes. Fats have insulating capacity, but they are bad conductors of heat.
What is an organic compound called called that is used to store energy and forms important parts of biological membranes?
Lipids are insoluble in water and found in biological membranes.
What hypothesis did Charles overton make?
membranes are made of lipids because substances that dissolve in lipids enter cells more rapidly than lipid-insoluble substances
