Which of the following statements are correct? Explain your answers. Lipids in a lipid bilayer spin rapidly around their long axis. Lipids in a lipid bilayer rapidly exchange positions with one another in their own monolayer. Lipids in a lipid bilayer do not flip-flop readily from one lipid monolayer to the other. Hydrogen bonds that form between lipid head groups and water molecules are continually broken and re-formed. Glycolipids move between different membrane-enclosed compartments during their synthesis but remain restricted to one side of the lipid bilayer. margarine contains more saturated lipids than the vegetable oil from which it is made. some membrane proteins are enzymes. The sugar layer that surrounds all cells makes cells more slippery.

1. Which of the following lipids have one or more fatty acids in their structure? Select all that apply Steroids Waxes Triglycerides Phospholipids None of the above contain fatty acids 2 What causes transmembrane proteins to remain within the membrane? One answer a. They are covalently attached to the extracellular matrix b. They are covalently attached to the membrane lipids c. They are hydrogen bonded to the fatty acid tails of the membrane lipids d. The have both hydrophobic and polar regions e. They contain only polar or charged amino acids 3. Unsaturated fats are liquids at room temperature because? One answer They have only two fatty acid chains attached to glycerol Their fatty acids are bent, limiting interactions between the molecules They are amphipathic, resulting in the formation of a bilayer Unsaturated fats are usually solid at room temperature Their fatty acids have only single bonds between carbons, allowing tight…
The cell membrane primarily consists of a collection of individual lipid molecules. Of the following three images, which one shows the correct orientation of these lipid molecules to form the cell membrane?
Why do phospholipids tend to spontaneously orient themselves into something resembling a membrane such as the lipid-bilayer sphere, single-layer lipid sphere, and lipid-bilayer sheet? a. Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules. The polar head faces towards water and the nonpolar fatty acid tails face towards other fatty acid tails. b. Phospholipids are lipophilic molecules. The polar head faces towards water and the nonpolar fatty acid tails face towards other fatty acid tails c. Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules. The nonpolar head faces towards other fatty acid tails and the polar fatty acid tails face towards water. d. Phospholipids are hydrophilic molecules. The polar head faces towards water and the nonpolar fatty acid tails face towards other fatty acid tails.
Which of the following statements are true about lipids? There may be more than one correct answer so make sure to check all answers that are true. Fats tend to be liquid at room temperature while oils tend to be solid. A saturated fat contains fatty acids that only have single bonds between each carbon in the carbon chain. The presence of multiple double bonds in a fatty acid make it more likely that the overall lipid will be a liquid at room temperature. Phospholipids are able to form a phospholipid bilayer due to the fact that they contain a polar component at the "head" of the molecule, and a long and relatively straight non-polar component at the "tail" of the molecule Fats, lipids, and steroids all have the same general structure involving a glycerol molecule and fatty acids.
