Document Summary
Describe and distinguish b/w different classes of lipids. Explain the biological roles of the different classes of lipids: biological membranes are based on certain types of lipid molecules, lipids are biological molecules that have little or no solubility in water, but are soluble in organic solvents. If the hydrocarbon chain has no double bonds saturated. If it has one double bond monounsaturated. Biochem section 2, topic 6 notes lipids & biological membranes: proteins associate with the membrane in 3 different ways: Biochem section 2, topic 6 notes lipids & biological membranes: such a-helices are said to be amphipathic, because, like membrane lipids, they are polar on one side and hydrophobic on the other. Biochem section 2, topic 6 notes lipids & biological membranes: functions of membrane proteins, transports and channels. If a pathway is provided via a transporter or channel, ions and molecules will spontaneously move across the membrane down their electrochemical gradient; this process is called passive transport.
