Activity: Membrane Structure

Phospholipid | Structure, Function & Examples

SOLVED:Cells are bounded by membranes composed of phospholipids. A phospholipid consists of a pair of fatty acids that may or may not have carbon-carbon double bonds, fused at the carboxylic acid with a three-carbon glycerol that is terminated by a phosphate, as shown in the figure below. Most cell membranes comprise two phospholipid layers with the hydrophilic phosphate ends of each molecule in the outer and inner surfaces. The hydrophobic chains of carbon atoms extend into the space between th

SOLVED: Explain lipid bilayer formation from phospholipids referring to the interactions taking places as well as enthalpy and entropy.
