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 is used to store energy and make cell membranes and hormones?

Lipids are used to store energy in the form of triglycerides, make up cell membranes as phospholipids, and serve as precursors for the synthesis of hormones such as steroid hormones.


What is used to make the lipid bilayer found in cell membranes in the body?

Lipid bilayers found in cell membranes are mainly composed of phospholipids, which consist of a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails. These phospholipid molecules self-assemble to form a double layer, creating a barrier that surrounds and protects the cell.


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.


Which type of organic compound is generally not soluble in water and makes up an important part of biological membranes?

Lipids are generally not soluble in water and are an important component of biological membranes. They are composed of long hydrocarbon chains that make them insoluble in water but highly important for maintaining the structure and function of cell membranes.


What kinds of lipids make up the bilayer that forms cell membranes?

Phospholipids are the primary type of lipids that make up the bilayer of cell membranes. These phospholipids have a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail, allowing them to arrange in a double layer with tails facing inward toward each other. Additionally, cholesterol molecules are interspersed within the phospholipid bilayer to help stabilize and maintain the fluidity of the membrane.


What kind of lipids make up the bilayer that forms cell membranes?

Phospholipids make up the majority of the bilayer that forms cell membranes. These phospholipids have hydrophilic (water-attracting) heads and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails, allowing them to form a stable barrier in the cell membrane. Other lipids, such as cholesterol and glycolipids, also play a role in the structure and function of cell membranes.
