Phospholipids serve a major function in the cells of all organisms: they form the phospholipid membranes that surround the cell and intracellular organelles such as the mitochondria. The cell membrane is a fluid, semi-permeable bilayer that separates the cell's contents from the environment, see animation below.ipid molecules are slightly soluble to insoluble in water. Lipids are hydrophobic because the molecules consist of long, 16-18 carbon, hydrocarbon backbones with only a small amount of oxygen containing groups.
The short answer? No, while in the womb, a fetus doesn't poop â although it does pee. However, some waste does accumulate in its lower intestine throughout the pregnancy, which is a result of nutrients received from the mother via the umbilical chord. Called meconium, the fetus does not poop this while in the womb. The fetus will excrete this sticky, greenish waste shortly after birth.
The answer depends on what you mean by drop.. As you were developing in your mother's womb, you testicles formed inside your abdominal cavity. Just before birth (usually during week 28), they drop through holes in the abdomen into your scrotum. The descent might take a few weeks to complete, but normally by twelve weeks after birth, the testicles are in the scrotum. In about 1 out of 100 births, something goes wrong and one or both testicles don't make it to the scrotum. In these cases, doctors do surgery to move them into their proper location.
