Glycolipids Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

plasma membrane - forms the outer boundary of the cell, through which the cell interacts with its external environment nucleus - directs cell activities, most of which take place in the cytoplasm; usually located near the center of the cell organelle - specialized structure that performs a specific function,aka little organs. The number and type of these is related to the specific structure and function of a cell intracellular - substances inside the cell extracellular - substances outsid...

BIOS 256 Exam 2 Study Guide what are nutrients? - any ingested chemical used for growth, repair, or maintenance of the body what are the six classes of nutrients? - carbohydrates lipids proteins vitamins minerals water what nutrients are micronutrients? - vitamins and minerals what are the functions of sugars? [two] - - structural components of other molecules [ex; nucleic acids, glycoproteins, glycolipids, ATP, and related nucleotides] - serve as fuel [easily oxidized source of c...

Three types of lipids correct answer: storage lipid(fat), structural lipids(membrane) and signaling lipids(hormaones) storage lipids are correct answer: triacyl glyceride structural lipids include correct answer: phospholipid, sphingolipid, glycolipids and steroids signaling lipids include correct answer: eicosonoids and steroids what are the core building blocks of lipids correct answer: fatty acids a fatty acyl chain is _ if it contains only single bonds, but _ if it has on...

Bio 1201 exam 2 Gregg latest update graded A+ transport proteins are responsible for controlling passage across the membrane fluid mosaic model The membrane is a mosaic of protein molecules bobbing in a fluid bilayer of phospholipids fatty acid tails nonpolar, hydrophobic fatty acid heads hydrophilic, polar periphial proteins bound to the surface of the membrane integral proteins penetrate the hydrophobic core (ones that span the membrane are transmembrane protiens How ...

Athabasca University Bio 235 Midterm 1- Version A and Version B 1. How motion is produced in muscle -Movements of the whole body such as walking and running, and localized movements such as grasping a pencil, keyboarding, or nodding the head as a result of muscle contractions, rely on the integrated functioning of skeletal muscles, bones, and joints. MIDTERM 1- VERSION B 1. Know components of the lipid bi-layer o The basic structural framework of the plasma membrane is the lipid bilayer...

How does membrane formation occur? correct answer: decrease in ionic bond with water What are the main functions of the cell membrane? correct answer: - barrier regulating the import and export of essential molecules - Compartmentalization of specialized processes increases cellular efficiency. - modulates cell-cell recognition due to the presence of glycoproteins and glycolipids. - Signalling across the membrane is mediated by proteins and lipids. What is the fluid mosaic model? corr...
