The 28 pages that link to Phospholipid, each with the reason it gives.

• Fatty acidRelated: Fatty acids often supply its hydrophobic tails.

• Cell membraneBroader topic: Phospholipids spontaneously arrange into the bilayer that forms the membrane’s foundation.

• CholesterolRelated: Phospholipid tails interact with cholesterol's rings and hydrocarbon chain in membranes.

• TriglycerideCompared with: Unlike triglycerides, phospholipids are amphipathic and form membrane structures.

• LatexRelated: Phospholipids occur at rubber-particle surfaces and contribute to latex stability.

• Lipid bilayerBroader topic: Phospholipids are the principal structural molecules in many biological bilayers.

• PhosphorusRelated: Its phosphate head makes phosphorus a structural part of plant membranes.

• Lipid peroxidationRelated: Polyunsaturated phospholipid tails are common substrates in cellular membranes.

• Arachidonic acidRelated: Cell membranes store much of their arachidonic acid in phospholipids.

• Milk fatRelated: Phospholipids are among the membrane lipids at the surface of milk fat globules.

• PhosphateRelated: Phosphate-containing heads help phospholipids form cell membranes.

• Plasma membraneBroader topic: Its amphipathic shape drives spontaneous bilayer formation in water.

• AmphiphileBroader topic: Phospholipids are amphiphiles that assemble into cell membranes.

• LipidBroader topic: Its contrasting head and tails let it organize into membrane bilayers.

• Fish oilRelated: Some marine oils carry omega-3 fatty acids in phospholipids rather than triglycerides.

• LipoproteinRelated: Phospholipids form the water-facing surface layer of lipoprotein particles.

• High-density lipoproteinRelated: Phospholipids form the water-compatible outer surface of HDL.

• LecithinNarrower topic: Lecithin is a mixture of phospholipids rather than one chemically uniform substance.

• Phospholipid bilayerBroader topic: Its polar head and nonpolar tails create the bilayer’s defining two-sided arrangement.

• Archaeal membraneRelated: Many archaeal membrane lipids use phosphate-containing head groups to interact with water.

• Palmitic acidRelated: Palmitic acid can supply a hydrophobic tail in membrane phospholipids.

• Viral envelopeBroader topic: Phospholipids form the membrane framework surrounding enveloped virus particles.

• Biological membraneBroader topic: Its water-attracting head and water-avoiding tails drive bilayer formation.

• CholineNarrower topic: Choline is a head group in major membrane phospholipids.

• Lipid nanoparticleRelated: It helps shape the particle and contributes membrane-like structure.

• Membrane fluidityBroader topic: Its head-and-tail structure determines how neighboring membrane molecules pack.

• GlycolipidCompared with: Its polar headgroup contains phosphate, whereas glycolipids present carbohydrate as the defining headgroup.

• Endomembrane systemRelated: Phospholipids form the membranes whose growth and exchange sustain the system.
