Is the inside of the cell hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
phobic
The hydrophilic regions of a membrane protein are most likely to be found?
The hydrophilic regions of a transmembrane protein are likely to be found on the exterior of the membrane. The transmembrane protein may have three parts: a hydrophilic segment, a hydrophobic segment, and another hydrophilic segment. The hydrophobic region would be in between the hydrophilic regions. The hydrophobic region will be embedded in the membrane and the hydrophilic regions will be on the inside and outside of the membrane.
Is the phospholipids bilayer symmetric?
No, it is asymmetric with hydrophilic portion on the outside and hydrophobic on the inside.
How does the shape of a molecule affect it's polarity?
The shape of a molecule affects its polarity by determining the spatial arrangement of its polar bonds. If a molecule is symmetrical, with polar bonds arranged symmetrically, it will likely be nonpolar overall. However, if the molecule is asymmetrical, with polar bonds arranged asymmetrically, it will likely be polar overall. The polarity arises due to the unevenly distributed electron density caused by the electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms.
Where do receptor molecules end up after receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Its NOT 'on the inside surface of the cell membrane' Probably ' on the inside surface of the vesicle'
Is the inside of the cell hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

Why does the presence of an oil reduce foaming in liquid soap?
foam is created by small bubbles or mycelles. These are formed by molecules which are hydrophobic (repelled by water) on one end and hydrophilic (attracted by water) on the other. In water, these molecules form a 2 molecule thick layer with the hydrophobic tails on the inside (protected from water) and the hydrophilic ends on the outer side (touching the water). This layer forms the skin/membrane of a bubble. Oil is hydrophobic and disrupts the formation of this 2 molecule thick membrane.

What is the job a a receptor molecule?
A receptor molecule is a molecule that receives information from outside the cell. They are embedded in either the plasma membrane or cytoplasm of a cell. A specific molecule on the surface or inside of a cell with a characteristic chemical and physical structure. Many neurotransmitters and hormones exert their effects by binding to receptors on cells.
What is oxygen plasma chamber. can you explain for what purpose this equipment is used?
Plasma chamber is a device which produces plasma inside. plasma is the 4th state of matter which is quasineutral meaning it consists of the same amount of positive and negative ions. When these ions hit the surface the change the chemistry of the surface. They can be used for many purposes such as changig the surface chemistry, depositing organic compounds sometimes sterlizing. I use it to make a hydrophobic surface hydrophilic.
What part of the molecule gives it this charge?
the electrons and protons of the atoms inside the molecule
Is cytoplasm hydrophilic?
The plasma membrane is made up of phospholipids, which each have a hydrophilic tail and a hydrophobic head. They will create two layers with the heads facing each other and the tails facing out. So the inside of the plasma membrane is hydrophobic while the outsides are hydrophilic.
What is the force inside a molecule of nitrogen?
The molecule of nitrogen (N2) has three covalent bonds.
