Phospholipids

What Are Phospholipids?
Phospholipids are essential molecules that form the primary structural components of all cell membranes. They create a protective barrier that separates the internal contents of the cell from its external environment.

Role in Cellular Function
Phospholipids contribute to membrane flexibility, cell signalling, and the transport of nutrients and waste in and out of the cell. Their unique structure allows cells to maintain integrity and function effectively.

Health Significance of Phospholipids
Proper phospholipid balance is crucial for healthy cellular activity, neurological function, and lipid metabolism. Imbalances can be linked to various health conditions, including metabolic and neurological disorders.
