The protic solvents tend to localize the triiodide anion's excess charge, resulting in the triiodide anion's asymmetric structure. [4] [5] For example, the triiodide anion in methanol has an asymmetric bent structure with a charge localized on the longer end of the anion. [6] The dimensions of the triiodide [I a −I b −I c] − bonds in a ...
Fluid mosaic model of a cell membrane. The fluid mosaic model explains various characteristics regarding the structure of functional cell membranes.According to this biological model, there is a lipid bilayer (two molecules thick layer consisting primarily of amphipathic phospholipids) in which protein molecules are embedded.

The polyiodides are a class of polyhalogen anions composed entirely of iodine atoms. [1] [2] The most common member is the triiodide ion, I −3.Other known larger polyiodides include [I 4] 2−, [I 5] −, [I 6] 2−, [I 7] −, [I 8] 2−, [I 9] −, [I 10] 2−, [I 10] 4−, [I 11] 3−, [I 12] 2−, [I 13] 3−, [I 14] 4-, [I 16] 2−, [I 22] 4−, [I 26] 3−, [I 26] 4−, [I 28] 4− and ...
[3] [4] MCS are important in the function of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), [5] since this is the major site of lipid synthesis within cells. [6] The ER makes close contact with many organelles, including mitochondria , Golgi , endosomes , lysosomes , peroxisomes , chloroplasts and the plasma membrane . [ 7 ]
An example of how glycolipids function within the body is the interaction between leukocytes and endothelial cells during inflammation. Selectins, a class of lectins found on the surface of leukocytes and endothelial cells bind to the carbohydrates attached to glycolipids to initiate the immune response. This binding causes leukocytes to leave ...
Membrane lipids are a group of compounds (structurally similar to fats and oils) which form the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. The three major classes of membrane lipids are phospholipids, glycolipids, and cholesterol. Lipids are amphiphilic: they have one end that is soluble in water ('polar') and an ending that is soluble in fat ...
The sodium-iodide symporter transports two sodium ions across the basement membrane of the follicular cells along with an iodine ion. This is a secondary active transporter that utilises the concentration gradient of Na + to move I − against its concentration gradient. I − is moved across the apical membrane into the colloid of the follicle.
