Lipids are created in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum of a cell. Many are used in the cell membrane, particularly phospholipids, whose double layer creates the basic structure of the membrane.

Do lipids control the activity of genes?
Lipids do not have a role in controlling the functions of genes. In a cell, the most notable function of lipids is in the lipid bilayer/cell membrane.
What substances is cellular cytoplasm primarily composed of?
Cellular cytoplasm is primarily composed of lipids.
Which organelle is primarily responsible for the breakdown of lipids within the cell?
Fatty acids are metabolized to help provide the cell with even more energy than by breaking down other macromolecules. Why not metabolism nearly everything that is brought into the cell, right? Carbohydrates, proteins, and even nucleic acids can also be broken down and metabolized to generate ATP for the cell. Fatty acids actually provide twice as much energy than carbohydrates or proteins of the same size.
What is the primary component of a cell membrane?
Lipids
What functions are directly controlled by a cell membrane?
Cell membrane: biological membrane separating interior of a cell from outside environment. It contains biological molecules, primarily proteins and lipids, involved in cellular processes such as cell adhesion, ion channel conductance, cell signaling.
Cell membranes are composed primarily of what type of molecule?
A phospholipid bilayer
Why do plants and animals use lipids?
Primarily for the construction of the Cell Membrane; secondarily for the construction of specialized Cell membranes, and thirdly for Metabolism.
Where are lipids manufactured?
Lipids are manufactured in the ribosome of the cell. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum also manufactures that lipids to be used in a cell.
What does the body use lipids for?
They are primarily burned for energy and used to make cell walls and the lining of nerve fibers. They have many other uses in the body.
What macromolecules is primarily responsible for the insolubility of cell membranes in water?
Lipids or fats are insoluble in water. Things that do not dissolve in water are generally termed lipophilic.
Where are lipids located?
Lipids are found in the cell membranes.
What causes lymph from the small intestines to appear creamy white?
lipids
What is Cellular Cytoplasm is primarily composed of that substance?
lipids
Which organelle are lipids components of the cell membrain assembled?
which organelles are lipids components of the cell membrain assembled
What substances is cellular cytoplasm primarily composed of?
Cellular cytoplasm is primarily composed of lipids.
Do lipids control the activity of genes?
Lipids do not have a role in controlling the functions of genes. In a cell, the most notable function of lipids is in the lipid bilayer/cell membrane.
What part of the cell makes and transports lipids and carbohydrates?
The Cell Membrane is the part of the cell that makes lipids and carbohydrates. It transports these parts, as well.
