Lipids, man!
Could be the phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane to be more specific.
phospholipid
Soap and detergent molecules have a polar head and nonpolar tail to help dissolve an dwash off dirt and oil.

What part of a phospholipid is non polar?
The head (or top) of a phospholipid is polar and the carbon chain tail is non-polar.
Is XeF4 a polar molecule?
a non polar molecule
Are fatty acids polar?
Because long hydrocarbon tails cannot interact with water
Is salicylic acid polar or non-polar?
Oxalic acid is a non-polar molecule due to its molecular structure.
Is Krypton polar or non polar?
Krypton Is a non-polar molecule.
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 characteristics of phospholipid is important to their function?
they have a polar head and non-polar tails
What characteristics phospholipids is important to their function?
they have a polar head and non-polar tails
Are lipids polar?
Lipids, both fats and oils, have a polar head and a non-polar tail.
What are macromolecule with a polar glycerol head and 2 non-polar hydrophobic tails?
Phospholipids
What is a phospholipid composed of by negative or positive heads or tails?
A non polar head and a polar tail
What part of a phospholipid is non polar?
The head (or top) of a phospholipid is polar and the carbon chain tail is non-polar.
Is dish detergent polar or non polar?
both, the water is polar and the chemicals are non polar
What has a polar head and two non polar tails and combine with proteins to make cell membrane?
Phospholipids :)
What cell has a polar head and two non polar tails and combine proteins to make cell membranes?
Phospholipids :)
Are fatty acid tails of a phospholipid molecules polar?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
Where are the polar and non polar layers in the plasma membrane located?
the two fatty acid tails of the phospholipids are nonpolar, whereas the head is polar
