The head of a phospholipid water and is said to be?
The head of a phospholipid is a phosphate group and is hydrophilic, which means it is attracted to water, in particular the intracellular and extracellular fluids.
The interior of the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane forms a nonpolar zone that?
A nonpolar zone is formed in the interior portion of a cell membrane. This zone has the ability to prevent large molecules and ions from entering through the membrane.
Why must we prefer close toed shoes or leather shoes than canvas or open-toed shoes in doing experiments?
To protect your feet from spillage! Canvas will draw liquid to your feet, leather repels.
Why does nigrosin not stain bacterial cells?
Because Nigrosin is an acidic dye--carries a negative charge--and repels against the negatively charged cell walls of most bacteria.
What are the adaptations of a lilies?
Information about Water LiliesWater lilies are water plants that grow in thick patches which create stagnant low oxygen areas under the floating mats. The plants are slow growing but eventually tend to colonize shallow water of up to six feet. The plants produce pink and white flowers and their leaves are nearly circular reaching up to 11 inches in diameter. Plants that live in water adapt themselves to the environment in order to survive their particular habitats. For instance, the long flexible stems of water lilies protect them from being ripped by water currents.Protection of Water LiliesPlants like water lilies that live in extraordinary habitats are designed with inner mechanisms that help to keep them protected from injury. Their roots are firmly anchored at the bottom and their stems are unusually long and flexible. This protects them from possible injury from water currents. Water lilies face other survival problems as they float on the surface of the water or are held high on their long stems. The top surface of their leaves is waxy and repels water. Their broad leaves are also supported by thick long stalks. These are full of air chambers that supply oxygen for respiration.Different Uses for Water LiliesThe Native American used water lilies for a number of purposes. The roots of the plants were used externally for tumors and sores and were taken internally for a number of conditions such as digestive problems and mouth rinses for mouth sores. The flowers and leaves served as cooling compresses. The younger leaves of the plants, its lower buds and rhizomes were utilized as vegetables. The seeds were fried and eaten or ground and used as flour.
What type of organic molecule repels water?
The type of organic molecule that repels water is a lipid. It is an non-polar compound and is generally insoluble in water.
When a substance repels water such as oil and water it is said to be?
Hydrophobic.
Is there anything that repels spruce beetles?
Soap and water
Is micro twill waterproof?
NO. But it repels water to a certain degree.
What is the substance that repels water?
Hydrophobic repels water.
Is water soluble in cyclohexane?
No, the polarity of water contrasts with and repels the nonpolar substane that is cyclohexane.
If water has no net charge explain why it attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules?
Water attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules because water has polar molecules. Water does have a net dipole though it doesn't have net charge.
What property does grease have that repels water?
Grease (being mainly a hydrocarbon) is nonpolar, where water is very polar.
Which Harry Potter spell makes things waterproof?
Impervius. it repels water :-)
What of the cell membrane repeals water?
Hydrophobic tail of the phospholipid bilayer. Made up of lipids which repels water
Do repels work in the sky piller?
Repels work in all locations.
Is hydrophilic the same as hydrophobic?
hydrophilic - loves water hydrophobic - repels water
