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 all portions of a phospholipid molecue found in a membrane classified as nonpolar?
No the phosphate group is polar.
How do Phospholipid interact with water?
Phospholipids do not interact with water, because water is polar and lipids are nonpolar.
How does the structure of phospholipids linear molecules with a polar end and a nonpolar end relate to their function in the cell membrane?
Which is the effect of having the polar and nonpolar ends of phospholipid molecules oriented as they are in this illustration?
Is dish detergent polar or non polar?
both, the water is polar and the chemicals are non polar
Is soap polar nonpolar?
Soap is actually both. It is similar to a phospholipid in that it has a polar head and a nonpolar tail.
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
Is soap polar or non-polar?

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).

No the phosphate group is polar.

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.
Can polar molecules and molecules that have chargers sneak through the nonpolar middle portion of the phospholipid bilayer?
No, they are not. Micelles are formed by amphipathic molecules, that is molecules having both poplar and nonpolar regions, such as phospholipids or fatty acids. The polar region stays to the outside of the sphere as it can interact with water or some other polar solvent and the nonpolar regions are forced to the center.
Are lipids polar or nonpolar?
nonpolar or polar
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.
