What can the head of a phospholipid be described as?
The head of a phospholipid is a phosphate group and is hydrophilic, which means it is attracted to water, in particular the intracellular and extracellular fluids.
What makes the head of a phospholipid?
Phosphate molecules.
A phospholipid molecule has a polar and a nonpolar end because of this water molecules form what kind of bond?
hydrogen bonds with the polar end of the phospholipid molecule
How does methanol react with water?
Methanol does not react with water.
Does silver react with water?
It does not react with pure water.
The head of a phospholipid water and is said to be?
The head of a phospholipid is a phosphate group and is hydrophilic, which means it is attracted to water, in particular the intracellular and extracellular fluids.
The head of phospholipid can be described as?
Hydrophilic or water-loving. The head of a phospholipid is attracted to water.Hope this helps!
Where is water located in the phospholipid bilayer?
In the proteins
What happens when a lipid is mixed with water and why?
A Phospholipid.
What can the head of a phospholipid be described as?
The head of a phospholipid is a phosphate group and is hydrophilic, which means it is attracted to water, in particular the intracellular and extracellular fluids.
What can head of a phospholipid can be described as?
The head of a phospholipid is a phosphate group and is hydrophilic, which means it is attracted to water, in particular the intracellular and extracellular fluids.
The water soluble portion of a phospholipid is the polar head which generally consists of a glycerol molecule linked to a phosphate group?
No, you do not have that quite correct. A Phospholipid molecule has one end that is hydrophilic (is attracted to water) while the other end is hydrophobic (is repelled water but is attracted to fats).
How do Phospholipid interact with water?
Phospholipids do not interact with water, because water is polar and lipids are nonpolar.
What makes the head of a phospholipid?
Phosphate molecules.
The head of the phospholipid is?
The head of the phospholipid is polar,it is hydrophilic in nature and hence attracted towards water,which face outwards in plasma membrane of cell
Are fatty acid tails of a phospholipid molecules polar?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
How does a phospholipid in water?
The phosphate head mixes with water; the fatty acid tails do not.When put in water, a phospholipid's head repels water, and is commonly said to be hydrophobic.Phospholipids, being polar, form hydrophilic heads or small lipid vesicles when paced in water.
