The phosphate group of a phospholipid consist of which a. hydrophobic, b. hydrophilic, c. poloar, d. nonpolar, or e. both B and C
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)
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 (or top) of a phospholipid is polar and the carbon chain tail is non-polar.
Phospholipid breaks down into Glycerol, phosphate group and 2 fatty acids
Phosphate molecules.
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.
I believe the phosphate give the phospholipid a polar region which allows it to interact with water (also polar). This is the basis for the formation of the lipid bilayer.

A phospholipid has 2 fatty acid chains and a phosphate group.
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 is a phosphate group and is hydrophilic, which means it is attracted to water, in particular the intracellular and extracellular fluids.
A phospholipid consists of two fatty acids and a phosphate group bonded to a glycerol molecule.
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.
The head (or top) of a phospholipid is polar and the carbon chain tail is non-polar.
Fatty acids , Glycerol , phosphoric acid and nitrogenous base are components of phospholipid.
