Chapter 9, Problem 13E
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why triacylglycerols cannot be a significant component of lipid bilayers.
Concept introduction: Triacylglycerol is also known as triacylglyceride or triglyceride. It is an ester that is derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. In the humans and in other animals, it is an important constituent of body fat. It is a major component of the human skin oils.

How does a voltage-gated sodium channel work? Specifically, how and why does a change in voltage trigger their opening? Please be detailed
When sodium ions enter a neuron during depolarization, they trigger the opening of additional voltage-gated sodium channels nearby, creating a positive feedback loop where the influx of sodium ions further depolarizes the membrane, causing even more sodium channels to open and allowing more sodium ions to enter the cell, thus sustaining the depolarization process until the action potential peaks. But how and why exactly does the influx of sodium ions trigger more sodium channels to let in more sodium? Please explain
