A particular fatty acid molecule has two bends, or kinks,
in its structure. What is the cause of the bending or
kinking?
Answer: Double bonds cause the fatty acids to bend or kink
about in solution. These double bonds reduce the packing
structure of fatty acids, making them more liquid-like.
Where in the cell are membranes found?
Answer: They make up the cell. The cell itself and the
organelles have membranes.
(Short Answer)
What type of lipid contains a ceramide? What is the
purpose of this lipid?
Answer: Sphingolipids. Sphingolipids are structural lipids
that form membrane bilayers with specific functions.
Sphingomyelins are a subtype of sphingolipids that occur in
all membrane bilayers but are especially prominent in the
myelin sheath of some neurons. This subclass of
sphingolipids typically has a polar head group with a neutral
charge. Another vital function of sphingolipids is that they
define the blood type of individuals.
What is the most significant chemical difference between
triacylglycerols and phosphoglycerides that lead to their
pf2

This subclass of sphingolipids typically has a polar head group with a neutral charge. Another vital function of sphingolipids is that they define the blood type of individuals. What is the most significant chemical difference between triacylglycerols and phosphoglycerides that lead to their

different functions? Answer: Triacylglycerols are nonpolar molecules that can be stored as energy. Phosphoglycerides have both polar and nonpolar regions that permit them to interact with both polar and nonpolar environments, making them perfect for membrane bilayers. (Short Answer) What is the fluid mosaic model and what feature of the cells does it help us understand? Answer: The fluid mosaic model helps us understand biological membranes. It describes the fluid, complex nature of the membrane bilayer. Membranes have lipids and proteins in a rich mixture to help the cell survive.
