What part of the cell are phospholipids found?
Phospholipids are usually found in the cell membrane of a cell (hence the alternate name for a cell membrane being the phospholipid bilayer).
What are the three types of lipids found in foods?
triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols
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 is the fuel for the human body?
Carbohydrates.
What are the first bugs on a dead body?
The first bugs on a dead body are flies and beetles. Maggots and beetle larvae are also found on a dead body.
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.
What is comprised of a phosphate group linking a diglyceride to a nonlipid group and can be synthesized primarily from fatty acids in the body?
Phospholipids
Name 3 classes of lipids found in the body and in foods?
Triglycerides, Phospholipids, and Sterol
Which organelle is primarily involved in the synthesis of phospholipids and steroids?
Lysosomes
The use of sterols and phospholipids?
Phospholipids are what allow our body to utilize water and fat. they can also act as carriers in the blood. Phospholipids are found in the cell walls. Sterols: are types of fat that consit of many compound within the body such as bile, sex homonoes, vitamines D and cortisols. They are not used for energy both phospholipids and Sterols are two of the remaining thre categories of lipids
What are fatty acids phospholipids and steroids synthesized primarily on?
golgi complex
Lipids found in the human body?
Lipids are molecules that are fat soluble. Steroids, phospholipids and triglycerides are lipids that are found in the human body.
What elements are found in phospholipids?
SUGAR
Which statement most accurately explains why cholesterol and phospholipids are amphipathic but fats are not?
Cholesterol and phospholipids contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions; fats are primarily hydrophobic. Save

What is the major lipid found in membranes?
