Is a phospholipid hydrophilic or hydrophobic?

A phospholipid has both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts, making it amphipathic.

What are the specialized parts of the 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.

Name the type of reaction of the bond between the structure of phospholipid where can be broken?

The bond between the structure of phospholipids that can be broken is a hydrolysis reaction. This involves the cleavage of the bond by adding water, resulting in the breakdown of the phospholipid molecule into its constituent parts.


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.


Does plasma membrane have phospholipid layer?

A phospholipid bi-layer.
