What are the specialized parts of the phospholipid bilayer?
The Phospholipid Bilayer is made up of phospholipids. These phospholipids have a hydrophillic head, and a hydrophobic tail. They are structured so that the hydrophillic head interacts with water, and the hydrophobic tails stays away from water, but mixes with fat. This makes the phospholipids form the phospholipid bilayer. The Phospholipid Bilayer has intrinsic proteins and extrinsic proteins attached, which may have glycoproteins attached to them. Glycolipids may also be attached to the hydrophillic heads of the phospholipid. Cholestrol is also part of the phospholipid bilayer, which adds strengh to the structure.

Within a lipid bilayer which part of the phospholipid is in contact with water?
The polar head group.
What are 4 small molecules that can move easily through the phospholipid bilayer?
i do not know all four, but i know three are: O2 (Oxygen) CO2 (Cardon Dioxide) and H2O (Water)
What of the cell membrane repeals water?
Hydrophobic tail of the phospholipid bilayer. Made up of lipids which repels water
Where is water located in the phospholipid bilayer?
In the proteins

When phospholipid molecules are placed in water they form bilayer membranes Describe what you think happens to cause the formation of the bilayer membranes?
The hydrophobic and hydrophilic effect. The nonpolar tails join together in the middle of the bilayer away from water and the polar heads that can tolerate water are on the outside of the bilayer.
In which layer of the epidermal cells is the waterproofed protein?
I'm not sure what your question is asking - if you mean what waterproofs cells in general, it's the phospholipid bilayer. In cells, the phospholipid bilayer has a hydrophobic (water hating) tail, pointed inwards, and a hydrophillic head (water loving) head on the outside.
How is membrane structure related to the transport of materials?
Membrane is thin and Êsemi permeable to allow Êmaterials to enter and exit easily. In addition, it Êconsist Êof protein Êand phospholipid bilayer, Êprotein layer release ÊproteinÊÊmolecules which act as carriers across the membrane.Ê Whereas, phospholipid bilayer Êallow small molecules such as water molecules to pass through quicker.
Why water molecules cannot diffuse directly through the phosolipids bilayer?
Hydrophobic centre of the phospholipid bilayer prevents non-liquid soluble molecules from passing through.
What is the significance of the phosphate group in a phospholipid?
I believe the phosphate give the phospholipid a polar region which allows it to interact with water (also polar). This is the basis for the formation of the lipid bilayer.
What structure in a cell membrane repels charged particles?
The structure in a cell membrane that repels charged particles is the lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer is composed of phospholipids, which have hydrophilic (water-loving) heads and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails. This arrangement prevents charged particles from easily crossing the membrane.
