What else can I help you with?
What part of the fatty acid is hydrophilic?
A fatty acid consists of the polar acidic -COOH functional group and the non-polar alkyl CnH2n+1 chain, which in most cases, n=15-18. A triglyceride consists of distinct hydrophillic (glycerol) and hydrophobic (fatty acid) sections, but to answer your question, the fatty acid itself has a hydrophillic part which is the -COOH group.
Which part of a phospolipid molecule is hydrophobic?
The lipid tails of a phospholipid molecule are hydrophobic, as they consist of nonpolar fatty acid chains that repel water.
What inner part of the bilayer is composed of fatty acid?
The inner part of a lipid bilayer is composed of fatty acid tails. These tails are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water and interact with each other to form a barrier that prevents water-soluble molecules from passing through the membrane.
Which part of phospholipd molecule is non polar and hydrophobic?
The hydrophobic portion of the phospholipid molecule is the fatty acid tails. These tails consist of long hydrocarbon chains that do not interact well with water molecules, making them nonpolar and hydrophobic.
Will Palmitic acid repel water?
No, Palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid and is hydrophobic, meaning it does not repel water. In fact, it can mix with water to some extent due to its amphiphilic nature.
What part of the fatty acid is hydrophilic?
A fatty acid consists of the polar acidic -COOH functional group and the non-polar alkyl CnH2n+1 chain, which in most cases, n=15-18. A triglyceride consists of distinct hydrophillic (glycerol) and hydrophobic (fatty acid) sections, but to answer your question, the fatty acid itself has a hydrophillic part which is the -COOH group.
On a phospholipid which part is hydrophobic?
The substance that forms the hydrophobic tail on the back end of a phospholipid are fatty acids. Phospholipids are not "true fats" as they have a phosphate group that replaces one of the fatty acids
What part of phospholipid molecule would reject the polar molecule glucose?
The fatty acid tails of the phospholipid molecule would reject the polar molecule glucose, as the tails are nonpolar and hydrophobic in nature. Glucose is hydrophilic and would not be compatible with the hydrophobic environment created by the fatty acid tails.
Which part of a phospolipid molecule is hydrophobic?
The lipid tails of a phospholipid molecule are hydrophobic, as they consist of nonpolar fatty acid chains that repel water.
What inner part of the bilayer is composed of fatty acid?
The inner part of a lipid bilayer is composed of fatty acid tails. These tails are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water and interact with each other to form a barrier that prevents water-soluble molecules from passing through the membrane.
The nonpolar end of a fatty acid is said to be?
hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. This end of the fatty acid is made up of hydrocarbon chains that do not interact well with water molecules.
Which part of phospholipd molecule is non polar and hydrophobic?
The hydrophobic portion of the phospholipid molecule is the fatty acid tails. These tails consist of long hydrocarbon chains that do not interact well with water molecules, making them nonpolar and hydrophobic.
Which part of the cell membrane non-polar and prevents the cell from dissolving?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains are nonpolar and prevent the cell from dissolving.
Do Hydrophobic molecules pass through the fatty-acid region of the plasma membrane easily?
Yes, hydrophobic molecules pass through the fatty-acid region of the plasma membrane easily due to their similar hydrophobic nature. The nonpolar tails of the phospholipids in the membrane provide a favorable environment for hydrophobic molecules to move across.
What part of a lipid is hydrophobic?
The tails of lipids are hydrophobic and the heads are hydrophilic hope this helped=) The tails of lipids are hydrophobic and the heads are hydrophilic hope this helped=)
Which end of a fatty acid would not dissolve in water?
Not the phosphate side. It's hydrophobic
The fatty acid in the tail of phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
