What part of the phospholipid polar?
The head is polar
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).
Within a lipid bilayer which part of the phospholipid is in contact with water?
The polar head group.
Why is the phosphate the polar part of the phosphilipid?
The phospholipid heads are hydrophillic and prefer the water while the tails are hydrophobic and are shielded from the water.
The phosphate groups are the polar part of the phospholipid because they are?
charged

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 part of a phospholipid is non polar?
The head (or top) of a phospholipid is polar and the carbon chain tail is non-polar.
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).
Within a lipid bilayer which part of the phospholipid is in contact with water?
The polar head group.
Which part of a phospholipid is charged or polar?
Phospholipids are made of two parts: the phosphate and the lipid. In this setup, the phosphate is the half that is polar, and thus the part that interacts with water.
The part of a membrane protein that extends through the phospholipid bilayer is primarily composed of amino acids that are?
non-polar
Why is the phosphate the polar part of the phosphilipid?
The phospholipid heads are hydrophillic and prefer the water while the tails are hydrophobic and are shielded from the water.
Which part of the phospholipids is attracted to water?
The hydrophilic end of the phospholipid is the end that is attracted to water. Only the hydrophilic end will come in contact with the water. The other, hydrophobic ends, will face inward and touch each other.
What part of a phospholipid is polar and non-polar?
The phospholipid bilayer in cell membranes is both polar and nonpolar. The heads, which face the outside and inside of the cell, are polar. Thus they form hydrogen bonds with the water outside of the cell and the cytoplasm inside the cell. They are called "hydrophilic," which means they love water. The tails are on the inside of the bilayer and are nonpolar. They are hydrophobic, which literally means they are scared of water.
