Biochemistry

Lecithin is a type of phospholipid found in biological membranes. Phospholipids consist of a hydrophilic (water-attracting) ”head” and two hydrophobic (water-repelling) ”tails,” forming the lipid bilayer of cell membranes. Lecithin, specifically, contains glycerophospholipids, which are essential for maintaining the structure and fluidity of the membrane. It also plays a role in emulsification, making it crucial in biological and industrial processes.

• Copper also has very high thermal conductivity but slightly lower than silver.
• Aluminum conducts heat well but less efficiently than copper.
• Gold has good conductivity but is less than silver and copper.

• Reactants are substances that take part in a reaction.
• Products are substances formed after the reaction.
• Solvent dissolves substances but does not necessarily speed up reactions.

• KCl is potassium chloride.
• CaCl is calcium chloride.
• Na SO is sodium sulfate.
