Which part of a phospholipid molecule contains a phosphate group?
Phospholipid molecule is actually almost similar to a lipid molecule. It is a alcohol connected to 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group.(In lipids, its connected to 3 fatty acids)
Does the phospholipids have a phosphate group?
Yes, phospholipids have a phosphate group in their structure. This phosphate group is attached to the glycerol backbone of the phospholipid molecule, along with two fatty acid chains.
What makes the head of a phospholipid?
Phosphate molecules.
What part of a phospholipid is non polar?
The head (or top) of a phospholipid is polar and the carbon chain tail is non-polar.
What are the three segments attached to the glycerol in a phospholipid?
A hydrophilic phosphate group and two hydrocarbon chains.
Is cholesterol a phospholipid?
No it is in fact not a phospholipid just a lipid. A phospholipid needs a phosphate group and cholesterols molecular formula is C-27 H-46 O and with no Phosphate it can not be a phospholipid.
Which part of a phospholipid molecule contains a phosphate group?
Phospholipid molecule is actually almost similar to a lipid molecule. It is a alcohol connected to 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group.(In lipids, its connected to 3 fatty acids)
What is a phospholipid composes of?
a head (phosphate group) and two tails (fatty acids)
What is polar head of a phospholipid is made of?
Phosphate molecules.
Which part of a phospholipid is charged or polar?
The phosphate head group of a phospholipid is charged or polar. It contains a negatively charged phosphate group and is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water.
Does the phospholipids have a phosphate group?
Yes, phospholipids have a phosphate group in their structure. This phosphate group is attached to the glycerol backbone of the phospholipid molecule, along with two fatty acid chains.
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 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.
How ar phospholipid different from from triglyceride?
One of the glycerine ester bonding sites is taken by a phosphate group and this allows only two fatty acid tails in the phospholipid molecule.
What are the component of phospholipid?
Fatty acids , Glycerol , phosphoric acid and nitrogenous base are components of phospholipid.
Is phospholipid protein?
No, they are called phospholipids because they are made of lipids and phosphate group. Most phospholipids contain a diglyceride, a phosphate group, and a simple organic molecule such as choline.
Are all portions of a phospholipid molecue found in a membrane classified as nonpolar?
No the phosphate group is polar.
