A lipid is __________.
A fat
An oil
A molecule that dissolves in a non-polar solvent
Is made from isoprene units
Is water soluble
A MOLECULE THAT DISSOLVES IN A NON-POLAR SOLVENT
Question 26
5 / 5 pts
(Short answer) A particular fatty acid molecule has two bends, or kinks, in its structure.
What is the cause of the bending or kinking?
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.
Question 27
5 / 5 pts
(short answer) Where in the cell are membranes found?
They make up the cell. The cell, itself, and the organelles have membranes.
Question 28
5 / 5 pts
(short answer) What type of lipid contains a ceramide? What is the purpose of
this lipid?
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.
Question 29
5 / 5 pts
(short answer) What is the most significant chemical difference between triacylglycerols
and phosphoglycerides that lead to their different functions?
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.
Question 30
5 / 5 pts
(short answer) What is the fluid mosaic model and what feature of the cells does
it help us understand?
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.
