Is The hydrophobic part of a cell membrane is on the inside of the phospholipid bilayer?

hydrophobic


What is the inside of a membrane bilayer?

Hydrophobic is the inside of a membrane bilayer.


How are diffusion and facilitated diffusion diffrent?

Diffusion directly passes through the cell membrane unaffected by the hydrophobic part of the membrane. Facilitated diffusion uses proteins to assist in the movement of molecules. Ions have trouble moving through the hydrophobic part of the membrane.


Hydrophobic layer of the cell membrane?

Plasma membrane is made of two layer of phospholipids. The outer layer is hydrophilic while inside the membrane is hydrophobic therefore plasma membrane is not a hydrophobic barrier -it regulates what enters and leave the cell.


What is one of the main components of the outer membrane?

The outer membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer. The inner part of the membrane are made of hydrophobic tails, and the outer part of the membrane is made up of hydrophilic heads.


What is a cellmembrane?

A cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer. It is made up of a hydrophilic head(the phosphorous part) and a hydrophobic tail(the lipid part). The hydrophobic tails face inward and the hydrophilic heads face the cytoplasm and the external solution.


Are the lipids associated with the biological membrane hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

Hydrophyllic heads and hydrophobic tails.


What molecules add support to plasma membrane?

The intrinsic properties of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic/hydrophilic double layer of the membrane gives it support, due to the hydrophobic effect.


How would a non polar molecule such as a fat or oil travel through the plasma membrane?

The inside of a membrane is "hydrophobic" because of the hydrophobic fatty acid tails of the phospholipids.


Does a plasma membrane consist of phospholipds?

Yes, a plasma membrane is a phospholipid bilayer, meaning it is made up of two layers of phospholipids. The hydrophobic tails face inward, and the hydrophobic heads face out to either side of the membrane.


Which part of the lipids most likely the exterior portion of the cell membrane?

The hydrphilic head and the hydrophobic tail, absorb water. brought to you by j.


Which of these is hydrophobic like the interior of the plasma membrane?

glucose and water
