Chapter 15: Q. 15.60 (page 538)

Describe the structure of a lipid bilayer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Channel proteins cover an area of the barrier, whilst external molecules are situated there at boundaries.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

The nuclear envelope is made up of two layers of lecithin, with the semi tails shifting to the right and the dipole crowns joining on the membrane's outer edges. A cell membrane is a double saw pattern of lecithin.

02

Given Information

The phospholipids and conjugated lipid hydrocarbons don't really fit comfortably together around the non binary cross bonding.

03

Explanation

As a corollary, the lipid bilayer is dynamic instead than rigid. The outer layer also helps in the production and sterol monomers. The "Fluid Mosaic Model" is the term applied towards this endothelial template.
