The Crucial Roles of Phospholipids in Aging and Lifespan Regulation
Phospholipids are major membrane lipids that consist of lipid bilayers . This basic cellular structure acts as a barrier to protect the cell against various environmental insults and more importantly, enables multiple cellular processes to occur in subcellular compartments.

phospholipid Biochem. (fɒsfəʊˈlɪpɪd) Also -ide (now rare). [f. phospho- + lipid.] Any compound whose products of hydrolysis include fatty acids, phosphoric acid, and (with some writers) a nitrogen base; esp. one that is an ester of glycerol phosphate; in recent use applied more widely to any lipid c...

Phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase
In enzymology, a phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
phospholipid + 1,2-diacylglycerol lysophospholipid The systematic name of this enzyme class is phospholipid:1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol O-acyltransferase. This enzyme is also called PDAT.

Phospholipid scramblase
In humans, phospholipid scramblases (PLSCRs) constitute a family of five homologous proteins that are named as hPLSCR1–hPLSCR5. Scramblases, flippases, and floppases are three different types of enzymatic groups of phospholipid transportation enzymes.

Is carbohydrate an important part of phospholipid? My professor tells us that carbohydrate is an important part of phospholipid, but phospholipid is composed of Choline, Phosphate, Glycerol and two Fattyacid, and I do...
Your thinking is correct based on typical carbohydrates, but glycerol, the backbone of the phospholipid, is a 3-carbon carbohydrate that is usually derived A carbohydrate definitely is an important structural part of the phospholipid, but your instructor probably should have been more clear in describing why

Phospholipid Bilayer structural reversal What would happen if the phospholipids in the phospholipid bi-layer were reversed, the fatty acid tails now facing outwards and the phosphate heads facing inwards? I'm assuming...
This would have quite dramatic consequences. The layers are ordered in the way they are, because of their polarity. In the way they are ordered, the hydrophobic tails are inside and directed towards each other, the hydrophilic heads are orientated to the outside and inside. Since both sides of the m...
