Yes, they do. Phospholipids contain a hydrophilic (polar) head and a hydrophobic (nonpolar) tail. The hydrophilic (polar) head contains the phosphate groups, which account for the reason why the head is polar since each phoshpate has a net charge of -2. The tail consists of long chains of hydrocarbons, which are nonpolar/hydrophobic due to the symmetry of the chains.

Do vegetables contain carbon and hydrogen?
yes. they contain organic molecules which contain C and H
What is unusual about the structure of hydrogen 1?
Hydrogen-1 does not contain any neutrons.
What does an organic compound contain?
All organic molecules contain carbon and hydrogen.
What two organic compounds contain elements other than carbon hydrogen and oxygen?
proteins and phospholipids
Do phospholipids form hydrogen bonds with water?
What part of phospholipids form hydrogen bonds with
What elements make up lipids-?
Lipids contain Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon. Some even contain Phosphorus. Below are types of lipids. fats, waxes, steroids, monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides and phospholipids.
What kind of atoms do lipids have?
oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and sometimes phosphurus ( in phospholipids)
What molecule does cell membrane contain?
The cell membrane contains phospholipids.
What does the membrane contain?
ions,phospholipids,carbohydrates,proteins,cholesterol,glycoproteins
Molecules that resemble fats but contain phosphate functional groups are called?
Phospholipids.
Does water and methane contain hydrogen?
No, methane has no polar hydrogen atoms to create hydrogen bonds.
What are the parts of the plasma membrane?
The plasma membrane is made of phospholipids. Phospholipids contain a hydrophillic head group which is considered water soluable. They also contain a hydrophobic tail group whichi s considered lipid soluable
Do hydrogen bombs contain hydrogen?
Yes,it contain Hydrogen.Thats why it is called so.
What three elements are lipids made of?
The term "lipid" commonly refers to fats, which are known chemically as triglycerides. Triglycerides are organic molecules that contain three different types of elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. But technically, lipids are a class of molecules that includes triglycerides, phospholipids, steroids, and waxes. So if you wanted to know what elements are found in lipids as a class, you'd have to allow for phosphorus as well, since phospholipids contain phosphorus in addition to carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Is phospholipid protein?
No, they are called phospholipids because they are made of lipids and phosphate group. Most phospholipids contain a diglyceride, a phosphate group, and a simple organic molecule such as choline.
