Why phospholipids form a thin layer on the surface of an aqueous solution?
The major driving force for the formation of a lipid bilayer is hydrophobic forces on the phospholipid fatty acid carbon chains. Once formed the membrane is further stabilized by hydrogen bonds, electrostatic attractions, and Van Der Waals contacts.
What is Flippase?
I get no credit because this is straight from Wikipedia: "Flippases (rarely, flipases) are enzymes located in the membrane responsible for aiding the movement of phospholipid molecules between the two leaflets that compose a cell's membrane (transverse diffusion)."
Lipids are constructed from or?
Lipids are constructed from fatty acids and glycerol. These molecules are important for storing energy, forming cell membranes, and acting as signaling molecules in the body. Lipids include fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids.
What is egg yolk made of?
Albumen is the egg white
What increases the fluidity of the phospholipid bilayer?
Presence of Cholesterol, Unsaturated Fat, and moderate Temperatures. The Cholesterol will help the cell retain fluidity even at lower temperatures, but higher temperatures will cause it to "Gum Up"
Where in eukaryotic cells is phospholipids made?
phospholipids are made in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the plasma membrane made of?
Phospholipids.
Cell membrane is made up of?
phospholipids
What is in the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane is the bi-layer of phospholipids the encompass the cell. It is made of phospholipids, protiens, and sugars.
What is made of a doubled layer of phospholipids?
lipid bilayer
What cell structures are made primarily from phospholipids?
cell membrane
