Front (Question)

act as electrical insulators, allowing rapid propagation of depolarization waves along myelinated nerves.

Back (Answer)

Nonpolar lipids

#3
Front (Question)

responsible for membrane integrity and regulation of membrane permeability.

Back (Answer)

Lipids in biomembranes

#4
Front (Question)

actively participate in electron transport chain.

Back (Answer)
