What else can I help you with?
He fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The plasma membrane is made chemically of a molecule that has both?
The plasma membrane is made up of a molecule called phospholipid. Phospholipids have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails, which arrange themselves to form a lipid bilayer that makes up the membrane. This structure allows the membrane to regulate the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
What two types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
I think it might be glycerol and fatty acids, according to my biology book.
In the triglyceride molecule shown below what molecule are the fatty acids attached to?
Glycerol
What 2 types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
To form a molecule of fat, the two types of molecules that are needed are glycerol and fatty acid. One glycerol molecule attaching itself to three molecules of fatty acid will give one molecule of fat.
Which molecule prevents cell membrane from dissolving in water?
Nonpolar Fatty Acids
The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are what?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The cell membrane is composed of a type of lipid molecule called a(n) (blank) which has two fatty acids and a phosphate extending from a glycerol molecule?
The cell membrane is composed of a type of lipid molecule called a phospholipid, which has two fatty acids and a phosphate group extending from a glycerol molecule. This unique structure allows phospholipids to form a bilayer, with hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails facing inward and hydrophilic (water-attracting) heads facing outward, creating a semi-permeable barrier that regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
What are the fatty acids in the tail of the phospholipid molecule?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The fatty acid in the tail of phospholipid molecule are?

This structure allows the membrane to regulate the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
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.
What two types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
I think it might be glycerol and fatty acids, according to my biology book.
In the triglyceride molecule shown below what molecule are the fatty acids attached to?
Glycerol
What lipid forms the framework of the cell membrane?
The lipid that forms the framework of the cell membrane are phospholipids. Phospholipids are composed of two fatty acids, a glycerol unit, a phosphate group, and a polar molecule.
