What else can I help you with?
What are lipids with polar heads and nonpolar tails called?
Lipids with polar heads and nonpolar tails are called phospholipids. They are a major component of cell membranes, with the polar heads facing the aqueous environment and the nonpolar tails forming the interior of the membrane.
Are lipids living things?
No. Lipids are organic compounds found in living organisms
What elements off the periodic are found in lipids?
There are few types of atoms that can be found in lipids. Oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen atoms are found in them, but they may also contain phosphate atoms.
What stores and produces lipids?
I have searched and found that the endoplasmic reticulum is the organelle that manufactures lipids.
Do lipids have carbohydrate?
Yes they do, yet only in their Acid (HOOC-) Heads, not in their Hydrophobic (-CH2-CH2-CH2-) Tails.
What are the monomes for lipids?
Lipids, aside from their Acid Heads, are composed of -CH2- monomers [anywhere from 15 to 27 of them].
What part of a lipid is hydrophobic?
The tails of lipids are hydrophobic and the heads are hydrophilic hope this helped=) The tails of lipids are hydrophobic and the heads are hydrophilic hope this helped=)
What are lipids with polar heads and nonpolar tails called?
Lipids with polar heads and nonpolar tails are called phospholipids. They are a major component of cell membranes, with the polar heads facing the aqueous environment and the nonpolar tails forming the interior of the membrane.
Where are lipids located?
Lipids are found in the cell membranes.
What element is found in proteins but not in in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
What elements is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
What elements is found in protein but not in carbohydrates and lipids?
Nitrogen is found in proteins but not in carbohydrates and lipids
How lipids react to water?
lipids show a strong response to water. The tails don't react to water, and the heads "love" water.
Are the lipids associated with the biological membrane hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Hydrophyllic heads and hydrophobic tails.
Which elements is found in proteins but is not found in carbohydrates or lipids?
Proteins are nitrogen based while carbohydrates and lipids are not.
Are lipids living things?
No. Lipids are organic compounds found in living organisms
What elements off the periodic are found in lipids?
