Document Summary

Part of second midterm group projects ieee of november. Fatty acids: contain a hydrophobic tail and carboxyl head, they are amphipathic molecules gaydroph, saturated fatty acids. Single bonds between carbons in the tail. Hydrocarbon tails contains carbons with double bonds more fluid. Saturated vs unsaturated note double bond have to be in hydrocarbon tail. Definition: diverse group of compounds like fatty acids, which are soluble in organic solvents and fat, formation of lipid bilayer in the cell membrane yaf. 5 different types of lipids will make up different p membranes in the cell. Lipid bilayer their tread phosphate group for: phospholipids are the most common lipids in cell membrane, hydrophilic head can change in plasma membrane. Cholesterol contains an oh group for a head. 6 important for f as transport protect let stuff in and out of cell control movement of different molecules. T are hydrophobic there forces in here around.
