Why detergents are able to remove both water-base and oil-base stains?
Detergents typically have a polar head and non-polar. Polar things dissolve polar things, and non-polar dissolves non-polar. Water-based stains are polar, or hydrophilic, so the head group helps break them apart. The oil-based stains are broken down by the non-polar, or hydrophobic, tail groups.
What part of the phospholipid polar?
The head is polar
Why do phospholipids form bilayer in water?
Phospholipids are formed of two types of parts, a hydrophilic part that is a attracted to and likes water, and a hydrophobic part that is repelled by water. The Phospholipid forms the bilayer to keep the hydrophobic part from coming in contact with the water and puts the hydrophobic part on the inside of the two layers of the hydrophilic part.
Are lipids polar?
Lipids, both fats and oils, have a polar head and a non-polar tail.
Is the glycerol head of a lipid is polar or nonpolar?
glycerin was polar. One day it became non polar. So it depends upon time!!
Why do phospholipids form double layers?
Phospholipids are composed of a polar head group and a hydrophobic tail. These phospholipids line up so that the head groups and tail groups are side by side to form a single layer due to the interactions between the head groups and the tail groups. Two of these layers line up with the hydrophobic tail groups facing each other to prevent the hydrophobic groups away from the polar head groups of other phospholipids and from the water in the surrounding environment.

Does the phospholipids contain a non polar component and a charged polar component?
Yes, they do. Phospholipids contain a hydrophilic (polar) head and a hydrophobic (nonpolar) tail. The hydrophilic (polar) head contains the phosphate groups, which account for the reason why the head is polar since each phoshpate has a net charge of -2. The tail consists of long chains of hydrocarbons, which are nonpolar/hydrophobic due to the symmetry of the chains.
Do phospholipids contain polar tails and nonpolar head groups?
The compound with both a non-polar tail and a polar head is called an amphiphilic molecule. An amphiphilic molecule can form micelles. These such micelles is how detergents dissolve dirt. A big example of micelles are phospholipids.

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 part of the phospholipids are polar?
The head is polar
What part of the phospholipid polar?
The head is polar
Is ascorbic acid polar?
yes as all of the OH groups make it polar
What is a phosphate head?
also can be known as polar head since phosphate is polar found in phospholipid bilayer also can be known as polar head since phosphate is polar found in phospholipid bilayer Was this right? i would like to know...
