What part of a phospholipid is polar and non-polar?
The phospholipid bilayer in cell membranes is both polar and nonpolar. The heads, which face the outside and inside of the cell, are polar. Thus they form hydrogen bonds with the water outside of the cell and the cytoplasm inside the cell. They are called "hydrophilic," which means they love water. The tails are on the inside of the bilayer and are nonpolar. They are hydrophobic, which literally means they are scared of water.
What is the difference between polar lipids and non polar lipids?
Polar lipids form bilayers spontaneously in water while non-polar lipids face towards the "non-polar" side of the cell being non water-soluble.
A molecule with a polar head and two non polar tails?
Lipids, man!Could be the phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane to be more specific.phospholipidSoap and detergent molecules have a polar head and nonpolar tail to help dissolve an dwash off dirt and oil.
In fact polar molecules are unable to go across unless?
they pass through channels in the cell membrane
Is chloroform polar or non polar?
Polar molecules are water soluble , non-polar molecules are fat soluble . Chloroform (as are most anesthetics) is more soluble in fats (the cell membrane) than in water (ie.blood). Thus it is classified as non-polar notwithstanding the data below. Chloroform is a polar molecule. The 3 chlorine atoms are considerably more electronegative than the hydrogen atom, so the molecule has a net dipole moment.
Is polar cell polar easterlies?
No.
What cell has a polar head and two non polar tails and combine proteins to make cell membranes?
Phospholipids :)
What characteristics of phospholipid is important to their function?
they have a polar head and non-polar tails
What connects the Ferrell cell and the polar cell?
subpolar low

Is the polar body a haploid cell?
Yes, polar bodies are haploid. n
Which convection cell in the atmosphere lies to the north of the plar jet stream?
yahh idk but your poopy is my lovey. 1d forever babyyy. hope this helps you little you(: hahhah im funnayyy. kbyexoxo
What would happen if a cell was made up of only polar substance?
It would dissolve in water or in polar liquids and would not be recognisable as a cell.
What are the three wind bands for the northern hemisphere?
hadley cell, ferrell cell, polar cell
How does the cell membrane regulate what enters and leaves the cell membrane?
Cell membrane have proteins embedded in them that act as channels for things to enter and leave the cell. Furthermore, the fact that the membrane is non-polar will block any polar molecules from entering but will allow non-polar molecules such as hormones to enter.
Are cell membranes polar?
Yes silly.
What characteristics of a water molecule causes its attraction to a cell membrane?
Water molecules are polar This causes them to be attracted to the cell surface, which is also polar in nature
