Concept explainers
(a)
To explain: The properties of lipids responsible for the given property of lipid bilayers.
Introduction:
Plasma membrane consists of lipid bilayer in which protein, carbohydrates, and cholesterol are embedded. Plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane because it allows the entry of only selected particles inside the cell.
(b)
To explain: The consequences of lipid bilayers property for structure of biological membrane.
Introduction:
Plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane because it allows the entry of only selected particles inside the cell. It is also involved in maintenance of structural integrity of cell.
