Question: Do membranes of the Antarctic icefish (see page 180) have longer and/or more saturated fatty acids compared to tropical fish? Explain.
In order to consume and dispose of dying cells, macrophages (amoebalike white blood cells) recognize phosphatidylserine (PS) on the outer surface of the target cell. Why is PS a useful marker of a moribund cell?
Why do glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids—but not fatty acids—form bilayers?
