What can you conclude about the advantage of the cell membrane being made up of phospholipids?

sergiy2304 [10]

The phospholipid bilayer is a universal component of all cell membranes. Each phospholipid molecule has a hydrophobic(water repelling) and a hydrophilic( attracted to water) end. This allows the phospholipids to arrange themselves in a way that makes a cell membrane not able to dissolve in water. The bilayer is also semi-permeable which allows only certain molecules to enter the cell.

What's the main function of the Krebs cycle

kati45 [8]

The main function of the Krebs cycle is to generate energy for the cell. The Krebs cycle is also known as the citric acid cycle and is part of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that cells use to break up sugars into a form that the cell can use. Cell respiration requires oxygen to take place. Cellular respiration consists of four stages:1. the breaking down of glucose into molecules (glycolysis)2. the link reaction - this process forms a link between glycolysis and the Krebbs reaction3. Krebbs reaction 4. The electron transport chain
