Pulling off a phospholipid of a cell membrane by a phospholipase does what? Why does our body do this?

Question

Type of cells known to have this happen: erthyrocytes, lymphocytes, leukocytes

What happens to the free phospholipid?

What happens to the phospholipase?

What happens to the cell and the fact that it is missing a phospholipid?

I am just trying to figure out what the importance is of cutting off a phospholipid off a cell membrane? Why does our body do this?

Answer 1

to make cholesterol ester from cholesterol,we need free fatty acids..so these fatty acid come from the phospholipid..phosphotidylcholine --> lysophsphostadidylcholine + free FA..so we need those phospholipase to break down the fatty acid..and we also need fatty acid in many of our body activities..so besides we can take the fatty acid from diet,we also can utilize the phospholipid..the cell membrane can fuse to 'close' the gap..cellular membrane behave like a fluid..it is not rigid

i think this is chemistry or biochemistry question..
