Chapter 13, Problem 6P
Summary Introduction

To calculate: The water molecules that would remain between the membranes.

Concept introduction: There are many protein molecules involved in the fusion of vesicle. Membrane fusion is facilitated by bringing two lipid bilayer of membrane in close proximity, so that the lipid can flow from one bilayer to another. To accomplish the fusion, the water molecules must be displaced from the hydrophilic surface of the membrane.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The number of phospholipids present in each of the opposing monolayers at the fusion site.

Concept introduction: There are many protein molecules involved in the fusion of vesicle. Membrane fusion is facilitated by bringing two lipid bilayer of membrane in close proximity, so that the lipid can flow from one bilayer to another. To accomplish the fusion, the water molecules must be displaced from the hydrophilic surface of the membrane.

Summary Introduction

To determine:  Whether sufficient water molecules are present to bind to the hydrophilic head groups of nine phospholipids or not.
