What else can I help you with?
Is a phospholipid hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
A phospholipid has both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts, making it amphipathic.
Is glucose an amphipathic?
I don't think that glucose has both hydrophyllic and hydrophobic ends though it is soluble. Think phospholipid for an amphipathic molecule.
The phospholipid molecules of most membranes have?
a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails. This structure allows the phospholipids to form a bilayer in water, with the hydrophobic tails facing inward and the hydrophilic heads facing outward, providing a barrier that controls the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.
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.
He fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
Is a phospholipid hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
A phospholipid has both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts, making it amphipathic.
Is the polar end of the phospholipid plasma membrane hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
The polar end of a phospholipid in the plasma membrane is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water. This hydrophilic end faces outward towards the aqueous environment both inside and outside the cell.
What is a double walled with molecules that have hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic head?
Phospholipid Bilayer
What is the characteristic the best describes the tail of a phospholipid molecule?
The tail of a phospholipid molecule is hydrophobic, while the head is hydrophilic.
Is starch hydrophobic?
Starches can be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, although most of them are hydrophilic.
What is the structure of phospholipids?
The general structure of a phospholipid is composed of a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail.
What is the phospholipids structure?
The general structure of a phospholipid is composed of a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail.
The polar end of the phospholipid plasma membrane is . hydrophilic hydrophobic?
"philic" ( likes water)
Is glucose an amphipathic?
I don't think that glucose has both hydrophyllic and hydrophobic ends though it is soluble. Think phospholipid for an amphipathic molecule.
Is soap hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Soap is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic. It has a hydrophobic tail that repels water and a hydrophilic head that attracts water, allowing it to interact with both water and oils.
What group does the polar end of a phospholipid contain?
A phospholipid is a type of fat found in the body. Phospholipids are made up of a polar hydrophilic head and a nonpolar hydrophobic tail. Hydrophilic means water-loving and hydrophobic means water hating.
Are integral proteins amphipathic?
yes it can as its outside edges stick out of the phospholipid bilayer exposing it to the watery environment (polar/hydrophilic) and part of the protein is inside the bilayer along with the phospholipid tails (hydrophobic/nonpolar).
