What part of a phospholipid is not attracted to water?
That would be the hydrophobic lipid tail.
What is the definition of 'Lipid Bilayer'?
A lipid bi-layer is a thin membrane of an animal or plant cell that comprises of two layers of lipid molecules. It is also known as the phospholipid bilayer.
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.
What is the primary molecule of the cell membrane?
membrane lipid which is made up of phospholipids and glycolipids. both phospholipids and glycolipids makes up glycerolipid.
Which type of molecule forms the cell membrane?
The basic structure of cell membranes is a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids have a phosphate group (the head) and a lipid tail.
What is another name for the phospholipid bilayer?
It depends on which lipid bilayer you're talking about. There is the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds eukaryotic cells, cholesterol phospholipid bilayers, protein lipid bilayers, phase transition lipid bilayer, lipid bilayer membrane...
Is testosterone a phospholipid?
No... It is a lipid because it is a hormone and hormones are lipids, but it is not a phospholipid.
What is lipid rafts in plant membranes?

What happens when a lipid is mixed with water and why?

What are the 3 types of lipid?

Predominant lipids in the lipid bilayer?

What is the double layered sheet that makes up nearly all cell membranes called?
60%phospholipids and 30% proteins and10% carbohydrates
Is cholesterol a phospholipid?
No it is in fact not a phospholipid just a lipid. A phospholipid needs a phosphate group and cholesterols molecular formula is C-27 H-46 O and with no Phosphate it can not be a phospholipid.
How do you use lipids in a sentence?
"Phospholipid bilayer of the mitochondrial inner membrain"
What is the most abundant lipid molecule in the cell membrane?
Phospholipid.
What part of phospholipid is not attracted to water?
That would be the hydrophobic lipid tail.
