Where are phospholipids primarily found in the body?
The main component of cell membranes are made up of phospholipids. In fact, another name for the cell membrane is the phospholipid bilayer.
Lipid-soluble materials enter and exit the cell via?
Phospholipids permit lipid-soluble materials to easily enter or leave the cell by diffusion through the cell membrane. Phospholipids form a bilayer or double layer which makes up most of the membrane.
What are the three types of lipids found in foods?
triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols
What are the two distinct faces of the phospholipids that make up the surface membrane of a cell?
A hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail
The structures found in a living cell can be compared to the parts of a factory that produces cars. Which part of the factory is most similar to the nucleus of a living cell?
Factory Manager -> Control Center.
What part of a cell prevents water from the entering the cell?
Phospholipids
What part of a cell prevent water from entering the cell?
Phospholipids
Where are phospholipids primarily found in the body?
The main component of cell membranes are made up of phospholipids. In fact, another name for the cell membrane is the phospholipid bilayer.
What has heads and tails and are found in a cell membrane?
Phospholipids.
Which one of the following statements about phospholipids is least accurate?
Phospholipids are only found in the cell membrane.
Where are phospholipids?
Phospholipids are found in cell membranes. Dietary wise they are in egg yolks, liver, soybeans and peanuts.
What are the different lipids that are in cell membrane?
Phospholipids are found in the cell membrane which form the bilayer
Where do you find phosphlipids?
Phospholipids can be found in every living cell's membrane.
Is the cell membrane primarily made up of fats called triglycerides?
The cell membrane is made of phospholipids and not triglycerides. These are found in the blood and are also the major part of your body fat.
How does Phosphorous assist cell membranes?
Its part of the phospholipids, the major compound of the cell membrane. (You build phospholipids by ligating phosphorous acid, choline, glycerin and fatty acids)
What is a nitrogen-containing compound found in foods as part of lecithin and other phospholipids?
Choline is a nitrogen-containing compound found in foods as part of lecithin and other phospholipids. It is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in many physiological processes, including brain development and cell membrane structure.
Which of the following possess glycerol-based phospholipids as part of their cell membranes?
Eukaryotic cells possess glycerol-based phospholipids in their cell membranes. Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, also have similar glycerol-based phospholipids in their cell membranes.
