Chapter 12, Problem 2P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure obtained when the phospholipids are placed in an organic solvent needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Phospholipids are important component of the cell membrane. They form lipid bilayers due to their amphiphilic properties.

Thinking about cell membranes. a) The fatty acid tails of the phospholipids that make up cell membranes canbe either saturated or unsaturated. Which type of lipid will lead to a membranewith more mechanical strength? Explain your answer. b) One difference between bacterial and eukaryotic membranes is the presenceof cholesterol in eukaryotic membranes. What is the structure of cholesterol?Explain how adding cholesterol to a phospholipid membrane will affect thestability of the membrane. c) “Anammox” bacteria are unique in that they can perform anaerobic ammoniaoxidation, or the production of nitrogen gas from ammonia (Damasté et al. Nature2002, 419, 708.). Intermediates along this reaction pathway include hydrazine(N2H4) and hydroxylamine (NH2OH), both of which are extremely toxic to the cell.The ammonia oxidation reactions are believed to occur inside a membrane-bound structure within the cell called the “anammoxosome.” The structure of oneof the lipids of the anammoxosome is shown…
