Phospholipids
lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see glycerophosphates) or sphingosine (sphingolipids).

 


Phospholipids
Phospholipids are fat derivatives in which one fatty acid has been replaced by a phosphate group and one of several nitrogen-containing molecules.
Example: Phosphatidyl ethanolamine (also known as cephalin) ...

Definition of phospholipids : ...

Lipids are broadly defined as any fat-soluble (lipophilic), naturally-occurring molecules, such as fats, oils, waxes, cholesterol, steroids, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, ...

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.

Lipids
Examples of the major membrane phospholipids and glycolipids: phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho), phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn), phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns), phosphatidylserine (PtdSer).

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.

Lipids are involved mainly with long-term energy storage. They are generally insoluble in polar substances such as water.

glycolipids
[Gk. glykys, sweet + lipos, fat]
Organic molecules similar in structure to fats, but in which a short carbohydrate chain rather than a fatty acid is attached to the third carbon of the glycerol molecule; as a result, ...

Glycolipids Sugar-containing lipids that are derived from sphingosine; the sugar moiety is attached at the alcohol on sphingosine.

Compounds called proteins and phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane. The phospholipids make the basic bag. The proteins are found around the holes and help move molecules in and out of the cell.

Proteins, carbohydrates, phospholipids, and other molecules formed in the endoplasmic reticulum are transported to the Golgi apparatus to be biochemically modified during their transition from the cis to the trans poles of the complex.

The association rate with lipids is accelerated by an increased exposure of hydrophobic residues.

Cell Membrane: Every cell is enclosed in a membrane, a double layer of phospholipids (lipid bilayer).

We know an enormous amount about proteins, but there are other important molecules that are structurally important, and those are lipids. Membranes are actually made from lipids, and only in part from proteins.

For example, large proteins into amino acids, or large carbohydrates into simple sugars, or large lipids into single fatty acids. And when they do that, they provide for the rest of the cell the nutrients that it needs to...

Cytoplasm is a complex of organic and inorganic substances, mainly proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals and water.

- Large, complex molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates, that are produced only by living organisms. Biological molecules are often referred to as macromolecules or biopolymers.

Membrane A semi-fluid layer of lipids and proteins. Biological membranes enclose cells and organelles and control the passage of materials into and out of them.

macromolecule A very large molecule, generally used in reference to carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
macronucleus The larger of the two kinds of nuclei in ciliate protozoa; controls all cell functions except reproduction.

Golgi apparatus - membrane-bounded organelle in eucaryotic cells where the proteins and lipids made in the endoplasmic reticulum are modified and stored.
hydrogen bond - bonds formed by polarized molecules (+ -), i.e. water.

lipid
One of a family of compounds, including fats, phospholipids, and steroids, that are insoluble in water.

Belong to the class Bryophyta and are found in damp and wet conditions.

Allelopathy: The influence exerted by a living plant on other plants nearby or microorganisms through production of chemicals. These include 1) carbohydrates and lipids, 2) alkaloids, 3) other nitrogen-containing compounds, 4) flavonoid phenolics ...

Not Chicken Noodle Soup, but the same soup that they formed in. At that time, there were plenty of proteins, amino acids, and lipids to go around. The first cells were probably all consumers. The ancestors of animals.
