What is the most abundant atom in a lipid?
Triglycerides
What type of lipid makes up the cell membranes in your body?
Each cell in the body, depending on its function will have a different type of cell membrane lipid. The most common type of cell membrane is a phospholipid. phospholipids are composed of a glycerol head (polar) which is oriented towards the cytosol and 2 fatty acid tails (non polar) which are oriented together.
What is the most abundant compound in living cell?
water
What molecule is most likely to enter a cell by simple diffusion through the lipid bi-layer?
Try a nonpolar lipid!
What are the most abundant elements found in cells?
the most abundant chemical in cells is water.
What is the most abundant lipid molecule in the cell membrane?
Phospholipid.
What is the most common type of molecule present in the bacteria cell membranes?
A lipid is the most common type of molecule present in the bacteria cell membranes.
What molecules form the double layer of cell membranes?
A double layer of phospholipids makes up most of your cell membranes
What are the two most important characteristics of the lipid bilayers found in cell membranes?
Lipid bilayers are important because of their impermeability by water solutions and their regulation of ion intake into the cell.
What lipid molecule makes up 50 percent of the cell membranes?
A phospholipid bilayer makes up most of the cell membrane
What is the most abundant lipid?
Triglycerides
Which type of lipid is most important in cell membranes?
Cholesterol. It maintains the structure integrity of the membranes
Which is the most abundant animal lipid?
cholesterol
What components of membranes are the most abundant?
Cholorestol
What is the most abundant atom in a lipid?
Triglycerides
What are the basic type of membrane?
the basic type of membrane according to cell biology is a lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it. most membranes are made this way except for difference in some biomolecules but the basic structure is the same that is a lipid bilayer with proteins embedded in it
Is the most abundant dietary lipid in the diets of most Americans triglycerides?
true
