phospholipids is type of complex lipids , they are present in cell membranes of animals and plants , it's molecular structure is similar to structure of fat molecules (fatty acid +glycerol (an alcohol containing three hydroxide groups OH _) put with a phosphate group (PO4) replacing the third fatty acid in fats.

Does the polar head of a phospholipid have a polar end containing glycerol?
The polar end of the molecule is soluble in water (hydrophilic) and water solutions (including cytoplasm); the other, fatty-acid end is soluble in fats(hydrophobic).Read more: 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).
What group does the polar end of a phospholipid contain?
A phospholipid is a type of fat found in the body. Phospholipids are made up of a polar hydrophilic head and a nonpolar hydrophobic tail. Hydrophilic means water-loving and hydrophobic means water hating.
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)
A phospholipid molecule has a polar and a nonpolar end because of this water molecules form what kind of bond?
hydrogen bonds with the polar end of the phospholipid molecule
Does the polar head of a phospholipid have a polar end containing glycerol?
The polar end of the molecule is soluble in water (hydrophilic) and water solutions (including cytoplasm); the other, fatty-acid end is soluble in fats(hydrophobic).Read more: phospholipid
The water soluble portion of a phospholipid is the polar head which generally consists of a glycerol molecule linked to a phosphate group?
No, you do not have that quite correct. A Phospholipid molecule has one end that is hydrophilic (is attracted to water) while the other end is hydrophobic (is repelled water but is attracted to fats).
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 group does the polar end of a phospholipid contain?
A phospholipid is a type of fat found in the body. Phospholipids are made up of a polar hydrophilic head and a nonpolar hydrophobic tail. Hydrophilic means water-loving and hydrophobic means water hating.
The polar end of the phospholipid plasma membrane is . hydrophilic hydrophobic?
"philic" ( likes water)
Is the phospholipid molecule has two parts the polar end and the bipolar end?
No, you do not have that quite correct. A Phospholipid molecule has one end that is hydrophilic (is attracted to water) while the other end is hydrophobic (is repelled water but is attracted to fats).
What part of the phospholipid polar?
The head is polar
What is polar of a phospholipid?
The head.
What part of phospholipid molecule would reject the polar molecule glucose?
The non-polar part (the hydrophobic tail of the phospholipid)
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.
