What are the molecules that make up most the membrane

Biology
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Lipid molecules.

Explanation: Biological membranes are bilayer of phospholipids that control the entrance and exit of molecules in the cells. The major components of phospholipids are the fatty acids. Phospholipids have two components: the fatty acyl chains and the phosphate group. The fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids molecules face each other at the core of the bilayer, forming a fluid hydrophobic interior while the phosphate (polar head) groups face outward. Proteins are embedded in this bilayer held by hydrophobic interactions between the membrane lipids and hydrophobic domains in the proteins. Both proteins and lipids move laterally in the plane of the bilayer but movement from one face of the bilayer to another is restricted.

What roles do polysaccharides play in living things?
AVprozaik [17]
The appropriate answer is D. storing sugar and providing structure. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates. Starch, glycogen and cellulose are polysaccharides in which the constituent molecules are made of several thousand glucose units linked in long chains. Glycogen is vital to nutrition because it is how the body stores excess glucose in muscles and in the liver.
The molecular structure of glycogen is similar to starch except that the polysaccharide chains are longer and more branched than in glycogen.
