A molecule with a polar head and two non polar tails?
Lipids, man!Could be the phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane to be more specific.phospholipidSoap and detergent molecules have a polar head and nonpolar tail to help dissolve an dwash off dirt and oil.
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.
Which part of phospholipd molecule is non polar and hydrophobic?
The fatty acid tails of the phospholipid is hydrophobic.
What is Phosphate heads?
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...
What macromolecule has a polar phosphate head and 2 non-polar hydraphobic tails?
I would have said "phospholipid" except that it's hardly a "macromolecule" by my standards (I'm a polymer chemist by training).
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).
Is there a part of a phospholipid bilayer that is polar?

What part of the phospholipid polar?
The head is polar
The part of a membrane protein that extends through the phospholipid bilayer is primarily composed of amino acids that are?
non-polar
Is soap polar or non-polar?
Soap is actually both. It is similar to a phospholipid in that it has a polar head and a nonpolar tail.
Are fatty acid tails of a phospholipid molecules polar?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
Is dish detergent polar or non polar?
both, the water is polar and the chemicals are non polar

A non polar head and a polar tail
