What else can I help you with?
Can water cross the lipid bilayer?
Yes, water can cross the lipid bilayer through a process called simple diffusion.
Can nonpolar molecules cross the lipid bilayer?
Yes, nonpolar molecules can cross the lipid bilayer because the lipid bilayer is made up of nonpolar molecules itself, allowing nonpolar molecules to pass through easily.
Can CO2 diffuse through the lipid bilayer?
Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) can diffuse through the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane.
Can polar molecules cross the lipid bilayer?
Yes, polar molecules can cross the lipid bilayer through facilitated diffusion or active transport mechanisms.
Why do proteins remain embedded in the lipid bilayer?
The protein's amino acids that are within the lipid bilayer generally have lipophilic side chains. They form a helix with the side chains facing out, so the lipids within the bilayer attract and stabilize this arrangement of the protein, keeping it in the lipid bilayer
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...
What forms the boundary of the nucleus?
The nucleus has the same sort of boundary as the cell itself has. That is a lipid bilayer.
Can water cross the lipid bilayer?
Yes, water can cross the lipid bilayer through a process called simple diffusion.
What has the author H Ti Tien written?
H. Ti Tien has written: 'Planar bilayer lipid membranes (Progress in surface science)' 'Bilayer lipid membranes (BLM)' -- subject(s): Bilayer lipid membranes
Can nonpolar molecules cross the lipid bilayer?
Yes, nonpolar molecules can cross the lipid bilayer because the lipid bilayer is made up of nonpolar molecules itself, allowing nonpolar molecules to pass through easily.
Can CO2 diffuse through the lipid bilayer?
Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) can diffuse through the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane.
Whattype of bilayer makes up most of the cell membrane?
lipid bilayer
What is lipid bilayer?
thin membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules.
How does lipid soluble move across the plasma membrane?
by dissolving in the lipid bilayer.
What kind of lipid is used in membranes?
Phospholipids make up the lipid bilayer.
How large can a lipid bilayer sheet be?
Lipid bilayer sheets can vary in size, but generally, they are on the nanometer to micrometer scale. The size can also be influenced by factors such as lipid composition, temperature, and presence of proteins. Large lipid bilayer sheets may be formed for certain research or applications, but their stability and functionality may vary.
What is a lipsome?
It's a Lipid bilayer structure.
