What else can I help you with?
What portion of the plasma membrane are made up of fatty acids?
Approximately 50% of the plasma membrane is made up of fatty acids, which are essential components of phospholipids forming the lipid bilayer of the membrane. These fatty acids provide the plasma membrane with flexibility and help regulate its fluidity.
What is the function of the fatty acids in the plasma membrane?
Fatty acids in the plasma membrane help provide structure and flexibility to the membrane. They also play a role in cell signaling and transport processes by interacting with membrane proteins and influencing their activity. Additionally, they can affect the fluidity and permeability of the membrane.
Is the membrane of neurons very permeable to Na when at rest?
the same as that to potassium
Which part of the membrane prevents organisms from dissolving in water?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains.Non fatty acid chains
What cell membrane does not mix with water?
fatty acids (APEX)
What cell has slender extentions of the plasma membrane?
Neurons

What membrane-wrapped compartment contains the chromosome?
nucleus
What contains digestive enzymes wrapped in a membrane?
Lysosome
What is a fatty acid tail?
a cat with no membrane
What is the fatty membrane that hangs in the stomach?
omentum

What part of the cell membrane does not with water?
fatty acids
What cell is insulated by a fatty layer?
Nerve cells, or neurons, are insulated by a fatty layer called myelin. This myelin sheath helps to insulate and protect the axon, which allows for faster transmission of electrical impulses along the neuron.
Is the membrane of neurons very permeable to Na when at rest?
the same as that to potassium
How do you create myelenated neurons?
You don't, but glial cells, (oligodendrocytes in the CNS, and Schwann cells in the PNS), wrapped one after another around the axons of neurons with gaps between them called the nodes of Ravnier do create myelinated neurons.
The effect that a neurotransmitter has on the postsynaptic membrane depends on?
the specific type of neurotransmitter, its binding to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, and the resulting activation or inhibition of postsynaptic neurons. This interaction can lead to changes in membrane potential, triggering action potentials and influencing communication between neurons.
