Phospholipid Bilayer of

Plasma membrane

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---


Cholesterol intercalates among Phospholipids.
Cholesterol fills in the spaces left by the kinks of

PUFAs .

--- Content provided by‍ FirstRanker.com ---

Cholesterol stiffens the bilayer and makes membrane

less fluid and less permeable.


--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

? Role Of Lecithin

? The Glycerophospholipid Lecithin is

the major structural components of

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---


biomembranes.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

the resulting bilayer/cel

membrane:
?Most membranes have

--- Content provided by‌ FirstRanker.com ---

phospholipids derived from

unsaturated fatty acids.

?Unsaturated fatty acids add

--- Content provided by⁠ FirstRanker.com ---


fluidity to a bilayer since

`kinked' tails do not pack

tightly together.

? Phospholipids (PL) derived from unsaturated

phospholipids al ow faster transport of

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---


nonpolar substances across the bilayer.
