Do lipids make up cell membranes?

Answer 1

Lipids are molecules provide by the diet and elaborate(metabolized) for the cell structures to be interspersed through the plasma membrane and part of the metabolic process of the cell, they are important molecules as other molecules are important for the metabolic process but they are not essential structures of the cell.

Answer 2

Yes. They form the *bi-lipid-layer* that forms the fragile [so much so, that it needs protection in the form of the (Oh so) many forms of reinforcement] Cell Membrane.

This Reinforcement occurs in three Styles: first as 'The Exterior Bacterial [glycosic] Cell Wall" in Bacteria;

- secondly, as the 'not unexpected' biochemical connection between Biochemistry and the biochemical processes that occur at the exteriors of both Bacterial and Plant Cell Walls; and:

- thirdly, the Mammalian Cells are fully re-enforced by the 'Glyco [sugar]-Protein Coat'.

We know [by now] that lipids do not act alone - for example: I overheard that peanuts are a good Source of Phospholipids and that Phospholipids are necessary for optimal Brain [membrane] function.

The bi-lipid layer easily transmogrifies Her Self and Her bioprocesses throughout Her Cells - from the nuclear envelope to the Golgi Apparatus discharges.

Answer 3

Yes the cell membrane is made up of phospolipids, which are made up of a phosphate head and a fatty acid tail (i.e. lipids) Hope this was helpful :)

Answer 4

Yes,Cell membranes are made up of lipid bilayer.

Answer 5

Yes, they hold all sorts of nutrients for the cell that won't fit inside, but are mandatory.

Answer 6

yes
