Difference between Lipid bilayer and Phospholipid

Lipid bilayer vs. Phospholipid

The lipid bilayer (or phospholipid bilayer) is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules. Phospholipids are a class of lipids that are a major component of all cell membranes.

Similarities between Lipid bilayer and Phospholipid

Lipid bilayer and Phospholipid have 23 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amphiphile, Biological membrane, Birefringence, Cell membrane, Dual-polarization interferometry, Endoplasmic reticulum, Flippase, Hydrophile, Hydrophobe, Hydrophobic effect, Lipid, Lipid polymorphism, Phosphate, Phosphatidylcholine, Phosphatidylethanolamine, Phosphatidylglycerol, Phosphatidylinositol, Phosphatidylserine, Protein, Sphingolipid, Sphingomyelin, Sterol, Vesicle (biology and chemistry).

Amphiphile

An amphiphile (from the Greek αμφις, amphis: both and φιλíα, philia: love, friendship) is a chemical compound possessing both hydrophilic (water-loving, polar) and lipophilic (fat-loving) properties.

Biological membrane

A biological membrane or biomembrane is an enclosing or separating membrane that acts as a selectively permeable barrier within living things.

Birefringence

Birefringence is the optical property of a material having a refractive index that depends on the polarization and propagation direction of light.

Cell membrane

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space).

Dual-polarization interferometry

Dual-polarization interferometry (DPI) is an analytical technique that probes molecular layers adsorbed to the surface of a waveguide using the evanescent wave of a laser beam.

Endoplasmic reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a type of organelle found in eukaryotic cells that forms an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structures known as cisternae.

Flippase

Flippases (rarely spelled flipases) are transmembrane lipid transporter proteins located in the membrane responsible for aiding the movement of phospholipid molecules between the two leaflets that compose a cell's membrane (transverse diffusion, also known as a "flip-flop" transition).

Hydrophile

A hydrophile is a molecule or other molecular entity that is attracted to water molecules and tends to be dissolved by water.

Hydrophobe

In chemistry, hydrophobicity is the physical property of a molecule (known as a hydrophobe) that is seemingly repelled from a mass of water.

Hydrophobic effect

The hydrophobic effect is the observed tendency of nonpolar substances to aggregate in an aqueous solution and exclude water molecules.

Lipid

In biology and biochemistry, a lipid is a biomolecule that is soluble in nonpolar solvents.

Lipid polymorphism

Polymorphism in biophysics is the ability of lipids to aggregate in a variety of ways, giving rise to structures of different shapes, known as "phases".
