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 are composed of two fatty acid chains and one glycerol compound. The fatty acid chains act as the tails of the phospholipid while glycerol acts as a head. The glycerol molecule also attaches to a phosphate group. The phosphate group causes the glycerol head to become hydrophilic.
