Question

The membranes of both B cells and the cancer cells are largely composed of phospholipids. Explain how, when the membranes are fused, the polar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell and how the nonpolar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell.

Answer 1

There is no distinction between the phospholipid bilayer of the two cells. In each cell, the biochemistry of the bilayer principles is the same: the polar heads of the phosopholipids will interact with each other and the nonpolar tails will interact with each other.
