What Are the Primary Functions of Phospholipids?
Cells are important components of animal bodies. They are the basic building blocks of life. Fats and lipids, such as phospholipids and steroids, make up cells. According to the text, “Biology: Concepts and Connections,” phospholipids are similar to fats, except they contain a phosphorous group and two fatty acids instead of three. Phospholipids form the outer cell membrane and help the cell maintain its internal structures.
