Phospholipids consist of glycerol with what attached? Are lipids produced by stratum corneum? What are the three fatty acids in triglycerides? What are the end products of lipid and protein catabolism? What type of molecules would be found inside a lysosome?
What are phospholipids important for in the body? Why do membranes self-assemble into their characteristic phospholipids bilayer? Explain how and why the phospholipid membrane is critical to the function of neurons. What characteristic of phospholipids makes them essential components of cell membranes?
Glycerol and fatty acids make up fats. These fatty acids join together in groups of three to form triglycerides. What phospholipids do Phospholipids provide cell protection and act as a barrier to certain molecules. They decide which molecules can enter or exit the cell. What sterols do Sterols ...
Phospholipids are chains of fatty acids. Your body uses phospholipids to make cell membranes. Every part of your body is made of cells. The cell membranes serve two functions. They hold the cells together and they control what passes into and out of the cells. Your cells have a life cycle...
@cougars- It makes total sense that liposomes are part of the lipid family. This explains why moisturizers and make-ups use liposomes as an added ingredient. Before reading this article and the discussion posts, I was clueless about liposomes and the likes. I had to learn more about the fun...
A pure artificial phospholipid bilayer is permeable to small hydrophobic molecules and small uncharged polar molecules. It is slightly permeable to water and
When a triglyceride replaces one fatty acid chain with a phosphate group, it forms a phospholipid. Phosphate groups are made of a phosphorus atom bonded to oxygen atoms. Phospholipids form a characteristic bilayer structure, with water-repellent, or hydrophobic, layers sandwiching a water-permeable...
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) makes up as much as 15 percent of phospholipids found in cells. PI is found in numerous organelles, and its head group can undergo reversible changes. PI works as a precursor that aids in message transmission in the nervous system as well as membrane trafficking and ...

What makes ribosomes in a cell? Eukaryote ribosomes are produced and assembled inthe nucleolus. Ribosomal proteins enter the nucleolus and combine with the four rRNA strands to create the two ribosomal subunits (one small and one large) that will make up the completed ribosome (see Figure 1)....
