What else can I help you with?
Do phospholipids form micelles?
No, phospholipids do not typically form micelles. Micelles are formed by surfactant molecules, which have a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head group. Phospholipids, while having hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic head groups, tend to form lipid bilayers, such as in cell membranes.
What kind of lipids make up the bilayer that form the membrane?
Phospholipids
What 2 kinds of molecules are important in making cell membranes?
A phosphate group and a lipid (to form a phospholipid).
What kind of lipids make up the bilayer that form cell membranes?
Phospholipids
What molecules form the double layer of cell membranes?
A double layer of phospholipids makes up most of your cell membranes
What help to form cell membranes?
Phospholipids
Do phospholipids form hydrogen bonds with water?
Yes, phospholipids can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules due to the presence of polar head groups that contain oxygen atoms capable of hydrogen bonding. This interaction helps phospholipids to orient themselves in aqueous environments and form lipid bilayers in cell membranes.
Do phospholipids form micelles?
No, phospholipids do not typically form micelles. Micelles are formed by surfactant molecules, which have a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head group. Phospholipids, while having hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic head groups, tend to form lipid bilayers, such as in cell membranes.
What form the majority of the plasma membrane of cells.?
Phospholipids
When phospholipids are placed in a liquid environment they form?
They form droplets called LIPOSOMES.
What has the author G B Ansell written?
G. B. Ansell has written: 'Form and function of phospholipids' -- subject(s): Phospholipids
Two layers of these form much of the cell membrane?
phospholipids
What molecules form much of the cell membrane?
Phospholipids are the most abundant molecules in the cell membrane. They have a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails that arrange themselves in a lipid bilayer to form the basic structure of the membrane.
What kind of lipids make up the bilayer that form the membrane?
Phospholipids
What 2 kinds of molecules are important in making cell membranes?
A phosphate group and a lipid (to form a phospholipid).
A form of diffusion in which the molecules pass through a protein instead of between the phospholipids is called?
Glucose molecules are molecules that pass through a protein instead of between the phospholipids. This is because they are to big to diffuse through phospholipids.
Which two kinds of molecules combine to form a cell membraine?
phospholipids and proteins
