Document Summary

Membranes are not completely lipids; there are those that are 50% proteins. The foundation of the membrane is the lipid bilayer. Lipid molecules contain hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups within the single molecule. The part of the lipid that interacts with the aqueous environment is the polar hydrophilic molecule, enabling it to interact with the environment. The internal part, the fatty acid part, of a lipid is hydrophobic. Based on the tendency of hydrophobic groups to condense together, the force is a low energy state and is spontaneous. Amphipathic: molecules that is both polar and non-polar. They can solubilise lipid molecules and hydrophilic molecules. The top is a saturated fatty acid; saturated with hydrogens and the molecule is linear. The second shows an introduction of double bonds. Lose two hydrogens for every c=c bond, making the compound unsaturated. Cis imparts a kink in the fatty acid tail, making it not linear.

Cholesterol is transported in the bloodstream in lipoproteinparticles. There are several classes of lipoprotein particles, butone of the most important classes is called Low-densitylipoproteins (LDL). LDL particles are composed of a single moleculeof a large protein called apolipoprotein, as well as thousands ofcholesterols molecules and phospholipids. Part of theapolipoprotein forms the surface of the particles and faces theaqueous phase, while other parts face the hydrophobic interior ofthe particle where they interact with cholesterol and thehydrophobic tails of the phospholipids. When cells need additionalcholesterol, they produce a receptor protein on the surface oftheir plasma membrane that binds to the apolipoprotein andinitiates the uptake of LDL particles into the cell via a processcalled endocytosis.

a. Bound to the hydrophilic domain of apolipoprotein

b. In the lipid bilayer that surrounds LDL particles

c. On the surface interacting with the aqueous environment aswell as interacting with the hydrophobic core of the particle

d. Within the hydrophobic core of the particle
