(T/F) The aggregation of the hydrophobic ends of lipids lowers the free energy of the solution. -
true
, the region formed by the hydrophobic tales of lipids is known as - the hydrophobic core
a cell membrane is composed of - 1. phospholipids
2. glycolipids
3. cholesterol
phospholipids found in a cell membrane - 1. phosphatidylethanolamine
2. phosphatidylserine (negative)
3. phosphatidylcholine
glycolipids - glycosyl derivatives of lipids, that is, they have one or more monosaccharide residues
bound by a glycosidic linkage
