What else can I help you with?
What is a fat in which the fatty acid tail is full of hydrogens?
This fat is called a saturated fatty acid.
Which portion of a fatty acid is hydrophilic?
Tail
Which part of a fatty acid is hydrophobic?
the tail ( carbon hydrogen only part) the COOH part that makes it an acid does engage in hydrogen bonding.
Why there is a bend in fatty acid tail of the phospholipid molecule?
The bend in the fatty acid tail of a phospholipid molecule is due to the presence of double bonds in the carbon chain. These unsaturated fatty acids cause a kink or bend in the tail, affecting the fluidity and packing of phospholipid molecules in the cell membrane.
What is a fatty acid in which all carbons in the hydrocarbon tail are connected by single bonds?
phenotype
The fatty acid in the tail of phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
What two units are found in triglycerides?
A fatty acid tail attached to a glycerol head.
A fatty acid tail that contains all single bonds between carbons?
Saturated fat
Define fatty acid?
In chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Fatty acids are usually derived from triglycerides orphospholipids. When they are not attached to other molecules, they are known as "free" fatty acids.
What is the function hydrophilic heads?
Hydrophobic is the tail of the the molecule that is atrracted to fatty acids and is a water fearing subtance. Also the tail is None-Polar. Hydrophilic is fatty acid fearing and is attracted to water it is the head of the hydrophobic tail. The head is polar.
What are fatty acids in the tale of a phospholipid molecules are?
Lipids. Fats that you take in from your food is used to build membranes. Membranes can be represented by models such as The Fluid Mosaic Model, which displays the phospholipid bilayr, and other tissues on the membrane.The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are non-polar and hydrophobic.Polyunsaturated fatty acids, Saturated fatty acids, Monounsaturated fatty acidsLauric Acid, Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid , Arachidonic Acid
A hypothetical microbullet shot through a phospholipid bilayer would pass the components in which order?
The order in which a microbullet would pass through a phospholipid bilayer would be: hydrophobic fatty acid tails, hydrophilic phosphate heads, and then the second layer of hydrophobic fatty acid tails.
