Question

If anyone could help with this question that would be great :)

Explain why doctors would get worried if their patient developed a temperature in excess of 420C. In your response, refer to the Inquiry question for this topic: How do cells coordinate activities within their internal environment and the external environment?

Thanks so much <3

Answer 1

Answer:

the cell membrane of a cell consists of a phospholipid bilayer, and since the question seems broad - another cell structure associated with lipids is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Explanation:

The cell membrane of cells consists of a phospholipid bilayer; in which there are two leaflets of the membrane that encases a cell cytoplasm against the outside environment.

From outside going inside, the layer is made up of hydrophilic, polar, phosphate heads (facing the aqueous extracellular environment) and hydrophobic, nonpolar lipid tails that are attached to the head facing inside. Hence, 'phospho'-'lipid'.

Since it is also a bilayer, there is another layer of lipid tails attached to phosphate heads that are facing the cytoplasm of the cell (intracellular environment).
