Genetic Pattern for Schizophrenia Found. July 1, 2009 -- A vast number of common gene variants come together in a perfect storm to increase risk of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, new studies reveal. But scientists now realize that most inherited disease factors aren't single genes, but combinations of different genes.
Phospholipids make up the basic structure of a cell membrane. A single phospholipid molecule has two different ends: a head and a tail. The head end contains a phosphate group and is hydrophilic.This means that it likes or is attracted to water molecules.hospholipids make up the basic structure of a cell membrane.

Phospholipids make up an important class of lipids for the construction of cell membranes. The phospholipids are not true fats because they have one of the fatty acids replaced by a phosphate group.This sketch of a phospholipid molecule shows two fatty acids and a phosphate group attached to a glycerol backbone.Stearic acid is shown as the fatty acid, but there are many variations in the fatty acids.hospholipids make up an important class of lipids for the construction of cell membranes.
