What is a lipid that is an important component of cells only in animal cells?

Cholesterol is a lipid that is an important component of cell membranes in animal cells. It helps maintain membrane fluidity and stability, and is also a precursor for the synthesis of other important molecules like hormones.


Of what material is the envelope present in some animal viruses composed?

The envelope present in some animal viruses is composed of a lipid bilayer that is derived from the host cell membrane. This lipid bilayer contains viral glycoproteins that help the virus infect host cells.


Is the cell membrane made out of cells?

The cell membrane is made of the lipid bilayer which contains lipids and proteins.


Do eukaryotic animal cells have cell membranes and cell walls?

No, the extra-Cellular side of the animal Cell [bi-lipid] membrane is called the Glycocallyx, or the glyco-protein coat.


Which is NOT an important structural feature on the surface membrane of an animal cell?

One structural feature that is not important on the surface membrane of an animal cell is the presence of a cell wall. Animal cells lack a cell wall, unlike plant cells which have a rigid cell wall for structural support and protection.


Is a cell membrane in the plant cell or animal cell or both?

The cell membrane (also called the plasma membrane, plasmalemma, or "phospholipid bilayer") is a selectively permeable lipid bilayer found in all cells. Yeah for wikipedia.


Is the endoplasmic reticulum a animal or plant or both?

The endoplasmic reticulum is found in both animal and plant cells. It is a membrane-bound organelle responsible for protein and lipid synthesis.


All cells are surrounded by a(n)?

A Cell Membrane: The bi-lipid-layer Cell Membrane. Plant Cells include an exterior [cellulosic] Cell Wall while animal Cells include an exterior glyco-callyx [sugar-protein] Cell Coat.


Does Poultry contain Lipids?

Yes, poultry contains lipids. Poultry is made of meat, which means it came from an animal and includes cells such as muscle cells. Animal cells are surrounded by what is called a lipid bilayer, which consists of two rows of phospholipids facing opposite directions. So every animal cell you eat contains lipids.


The cell membrane contains lipid molecules that?

The cell membrane contains lipid molecules that provide a barrier to the free movement of ions into and out of the cell.


What organelle in a cell has 2 lipid layers made up of proteins and carbohydrates and is in both plant and animal cells?

The organelle you are referring to is the plasma membrane, which surrounds the cell and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell. It is composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and carbohydrates. This structure is found in both plant and animal cells.


How to Describe the purpose of the plasma membrane?

The external, limiting lipid bilayer membrane of cells. A thin membrane around the cytoplasm of a cell. It controls passage of substances in and out of the cell. The plasma membrane allows a steady supply of nutrients to come into the cell also known as homeostasis. The plasma membrane contains proteins that span through the membrane and allow for the passage of proteins. The plasma membrane is located on the outside of animal cells or beneath the cell wall on plant cells.It is called the lipid bilayer because it is composed of two layers of fat cells organized in two sheets.LhadY Chelle p0..
