Question
Chapter 18, Problem 18.39E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The location of the membranes that are found in a prokaryotic cell, and the eukaryotic cell is to be stated. The functions of the membranes are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Lipids are organic compounds, which are fatty acids or the derivatives of fatty acids. They are insoluble in water but are soluble in non-polar organic solvents. Membranes are made up of lipids, which protect the organelles from the surroundings. The lipid membranes are selective in nature due to the bilayer arrangement of the lipids.
