Lipids of cell membranes include phospholipids composed of glycerol, fatty acids, phosphate, and a hydrophobic organic derivative such as choline or phosphoinositol.
lipids One of the four classes of organic macromolecules. Lipids function in the long-term storage of biochemical energy, insulation, structure and control. Examples of lipids include the fats, waxes, oils and steroids (e.g.
lipids -- a class of biochemical compounds which includes fats, oils, and waxes.
litter -- Leaf litter, or forest litter, is the detritus of fallen leaves and bark which accumulate in forests.

Lipid Antigens
Lipid antigens are presented to T cells by cell-surface molecules designated CD1 ("cluster of differentiation" 1).

Lipids
Lipids are compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar solvents.
Some lipids function in long-term energy storage. One gram of fat stores more than twice as much energy as one gram of carbohydrate.
Lipid bilayer A bimolecular sheet formed by amphipathic molecules in which the hydrophobic moieties are on the inside of the sheet and the hydrophilic ones are on the aqueous outside.
Lipids are involved mainly with long-term energy storage. They are generally insoluble in polar substances such as water.
Phospholipid. A class of lipid molecules in which a phos- phate group is linked to glycerol and two fatty acyl groups. A chief component of biological membranes. (See Inositol phospholipid.) ...

lipid A fat, oil, or fatlike compound that usually has fatty acids in its molecular structure. An organic compound consisting mainly of carbon and hydrogen atoms linked by nonpolar covalent bonds.
The lipid binding properties of apolipoprotein (apo) AIMilano, a molecular variant of human apolipoprotein AI, characterized by the Arg173----Cys substitution, was investigated by the use of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes.
glycolipid - membrane lipid molecule with a short carbohydrate chain attached to a hydrophobic tail.
glycolysis - the degradation of carbohydrates in a sequence of enzymatically catalyzed
steps.
This is a lipid bilayer much like the cytoplasmic (plasma) membrane of other cells. There are numerous proteins moving within or upon this layer that are primarily responsible for transport of ions, nutrients and waste across the membrane.

ionophore - lipid soluble substance that forms a channel or acts as a carrier in a lipid bilayer membrane to allow specific ions can move across the membrane. A23187 is an example of a calcium ionophore.
Within the phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane, many diverse proteins are embedded, while other proteins simply adhere to the surfaces of the bilayer.

Inositol lipid. A membrane-anchored phospholipid that transduces hormonal signals by stimulating the release of any of several chemical messengers. (See Phospholipid.) Insertion mutations.
The neuron, like all cells, possesses a cell membrane that is mostly lipid. Ions like sodium and potassium cannot cross the lipid membrane on their own.
Those proteins can be glycoproteins, meaning there's a sugar and a protein moiety, or they could be lipid proteins, meaning that there's a fat and a protein.
We also discussed the lipid bilayer. That lipid bilayer is not smooth around the entire cell. You will find thousands (millions?) of proteins throughout the cell membrane. Some are just on the inside of the cell and some on the outside.
Cytoplasm is a complex of organic and inorganic substances, mainly proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals and water.
