How can carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins be detected in foods? How are sterols similar to other membrane lipids and how they different? Explain the functions of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. How are lipids diffused into cells?
Why is it important for cells to be able to use both active and passive transport to transport molecules across the cell membrane? Why can nonpolar molecules pass through the cell membrane? How are lipids diffused into cells? How are vacuoles and vesicles involved in cell transpor...
cationic lipidshydrophobic effectCationic lipid-nucleic acid complexes are widely used to deliver oligonucleotides, RNA and DNA into cells. Although much has been learned about the structure and forces that hold the complex together, an understanding of the mechanism of release of the nucleic acids ...

This study combines lipidomic and transcriptomic analyses to show that macrophage-derived foam cells are associated with suppression, rather than activation, of inflammatory genes and that most of the changes in gene expression and lipid metabolism are triggered by the accumulation of desmosterol, an ...

As the smallest living units, cells are key to understanding disease—and yet so much about them remains unknown. We do not know, for example, how billions of biomolecules—like DNA, proteins, and lipids—come together to act as one cell. Nor do we know how our many types of cells inte...

The corresponding thermograms of the pure lipids are shown in grey. For clarity, traces are offset. 3.3. Differential scanning calorimetry The heat capacity function of pure DPPG shown in Fig. 4B is characterized by a symmetric peak at 40.7 °C corresponding to the highly cooperative main phase...
Researchers often use micromoles per square meter per second (mol/m2/sec) to measure the PAR energy in the field of plant science. This unit and Watts/m2 are interchangeable, meaning either can be used validly for measurements. When selecting a PAR sensor and meter for plant measurements, ...
