Answer:    A. Anticonvulsants

Explanation:  Nuropathic pain, or as doctors call it invisible pain, is associated with damage to the nerves, the nervous system. More specifically, it is a damage to the substance that surrounds the nerves, this substance is called myelin.  Neuropathic pain can occur in both the peripheral and central nervous systems, and can be the result of injury that causes damage to myelin or some disease.

Anticonvulsants are used to reduce neuropathic pain, acting as, let's say, calm effect on the nerves, i.e. reducing their sensitivity, which occurs due to damage of mylelin.

What can you conclude about the advantage of the cell membrane being made up of phospholipids?
sergiy2304 [10]
The phospholipid bilayer is a universal component of all cell membranes. Each phospholipid molecule has a hydrophobic(water repelling) and a hydrophilic( attracted to water) end. This allows the phospholipids to arrange themselves in a way that makes a cell membrane not able to dissolve in water. The bilayer is also semi-permeable which allows only certain molecules to enter the cell.

The diagram below shows the chemical structure of a type of lipid molecule called a phospholipid.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer No 1:

Phospholipids are made up of phosphorus head and two fatty acid molecules.  These phosphorus head and fatty acid tail is joined together by glycerol. Fatty acid molecules are made up of Carbon, hydrogen and oxyge. Hence,carbon and hydrogen can be said as two other elements present in phospholipids.

Answer No 2:

The building blocks of lipids are glycerol and fatty acids.

Lipids can be described as vital organic molecules which are not soluble in water. They are made up of chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Someof the examples of lipids are fats and oils. Lipids are the main molecules present in an organisms cell membrane and hence have huge biological importance.

Answer No 3:

Lipids are biologically important molecules as they play very vital roles in the functioning of an organisms body. Two of the functions of lipids are:

  • Lipids and phosphorus molecules combine to form phospholipids. The phospholipids are the main molecules out of which the cell membrane is made. Hence, lipids play an essential role in providing the cell membrane its structure.
  • Lipids store energy and provide insulation to the body of an organism.
