1 answer:
The complete question is attached in the form of an image as it lacks an essential part of the question?
Answer:
Eukaryotic cell membranes:
phosphatidylserine - it is found in the inner leaflet of the membrane and plays role in the cell cycle signaling.
phosphatidylcholine - these are a major group of the membrane in eukaryotes.
phosphatidylinositol - it is also present in eukaryotic cells only in significant amounts
both bacterial and eukaryotic cell membrane:
phosphatidylglycerol - directly activates lipid-gated ion channels in both type of cell membrane
phosphatidylethanolamine - helps in assembling membrane proteins.
cardiolipin - it present in both eukaryotic and bacterial membrane however it makes 20% of the inner membrane of the mitochondrial membrane
Bacterial membrane:
No particular lipid
