The substance that forms the hydrophobic tail on the back end of a phospholipid are fatty acids. Phospholipids are not "true fats" as they have a phosphate group that replaces one of the fatty acids

What part of phospholipid molecule would reject the polar molecule glucose?
The non-polar part (the hydrophobic tail of the phospholipid)
Is there a part of the phospholipid bilayer that is non polar?
The tails, the part that doesn't contain phosphorus, are non polar and they are hydrophobic (afraid of water).
What are the specialized parts of a phospholipid bilayer?
The Phospholipid Bilayer is made up of phospholipids. These phospholipids have a hydrophillic head, and a hydrophobic tail. They are structured so that the hydrophillic head interacts with water, and the hydrophobic tails stays away from water, but mixes with fat. This makes the phospholipids form the phospholipid bilayer. The Phospholipid Bilayer has intrinsic proteins and extrinsic proteins attached, which may have glycoproteins attached to them. Glycolipids may also be attached to the hydrophillic heads of the phospholipid. Cholestrol is also part of the phospholipid bilayer, which adds strengh to the structure.

What word correctly matches a phospholipid part with it's solubility?
Phosphate : hydrophilic
He fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
What part of phospholipid molecule would reject the polar molecule glucose?
The non-polar part (the hydrophobic tail of the phospholipid)
Is The hydrophobic part of a cell membrane is on the inside of the phospholipid bilayer?
hydrophobic
What part of phospholipid is not attracted to water?
That would be the hydrophobic lipid tail.
What part of a phospholipid is not attracted to water?
That would be the hydrophobic lipid tail.
The interior of the phospholipid bilayer is?
Hydrophobic.
What inner part of the bilayer is composed of fatty acid?
phospholipid(hydrophobic tail)
Is there a part of a phospholipid bilayer that is polar?
The tails, the part that doesn't contain phosphorus, are non polar and they are hydrophobic (afraid of water).
What are the parts of a phospholipid?
Head and hydrophobic tail
