Why is fatty acids non polar when it has oxygen which is electronegative?
Tail of fatty acid is hydrocarbon which is non polar while head is polar .
What is a phospholipid composed of by negative or positive heads or tails?
A non polar head and a polar tail
Do phospholipids contain polar tails and nonpolar head groups?
The compound with both a non-polar tail and a polar head is called an amphiphilic molecule. An amphiphilic molecule can form micelles. These such micelles is how detergents dissolve dirt. A big example of micelles are phospholipids.
What is polar head of a phospholipid is made of?
Phosphate molecules.
What has a polar head and non polar tail in a cell?
The phospholipid bilayer, otherwise known as the cell membrane contains many structures such as these. The individual units you speak of are called phopholipids, and are usually desribed as having a hydrophilic (polar) head group and a hydrophobic (non-polar) tail group. Hope this helps

Is salicylic acid polar or non-polar?
Oxalic acid is a non-polar molecule due to its molecular structure.
Is the glycerol head of a lipid is polar or nonpolar?
glycerin was polar. One day it became non polar. So it depends upon time!!
What characteristics of phospholipid is important to their function?
they have a polar head and non-polar tails
Is soap polar or non-polar?
Soap is actually both. It is similar to a phospholipid in that it has a polar head and a nonpolar tail.
