No, you do not have that quite correct.
A Phospholipid molecule has one end that is hydrophilic (is attracted to water) while the other end is hydrophobic (is repelled water but is attracted to fats).

A phospholipid molecule has a polar and a nonpolar end because of this water molecules form what kind of bond?
hydrogen bonds with the polar end of the phospholipid molecule
Why is water considered a bipolar molecule?
Water is considered a polar molecule (not bipolar), because it has parts that are positively charged and parts that are negatively charged. When you have a separation of charges (+ and -), you have polarity. In water, H-O-H (H2O) the H parts are partially +ve and the O part is partially -ve.
A molecule with a polar head and two non polar tails?
Lipids, man!Could be the phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane to be more specific.phospholipidSoap and detergent molecules have a polar head and nonpolar tail to help dissolve an dwash off dirt and oil.
What is Hydrophilic Enzyme?
An enzyme that likes water, due to the fact that the enzyme is a polar molecule. Much like the hydrophilic head of the phospholipid bylayer.
Which part of phospholipd molecule is non polar and hydrophobic?
The fatty acid tails of the phospholipid is hydrophobic.
What part of phospholipid molecule would reject the polar molecule glucose?
The non-polar part (the hydrophobic tail of the phospholipid)
A phospholipid molecule has a polar and a nonpolar end because of this water molecules form what kind of bond?
hydrogen bonds with the polar end of the phospholipid molecule
What molecule is the polar head of a phospholipid made of?
Phosphate molecules.
Are fatty acid tails of a phospholipid molecules polar?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The water soluble portion of a phospholipid is the polar head which generally consists of a glycerol molecule linked to a phosphate group?
No, you do not have that quite correct. A Phospholipid molecule has one end that is hydrophilic (is attracted to water) while the other end is hydrophobic (is repelled water but is attracted to fats).

What is the best way to describe a phospholipid?
a lipid molecule with a polar head and tail.

Does the polar head of a phospholipid have a polar end containing glycerol?
The polar end of the molecule is soluble in water (hydrophilic) and water solutions (including cytoplasm); the other, fatty-acid end is soluble in fats(hydrophobic).Read more: phospholipid
What are the word parts for Bipolar?
Bi = two Polar = poles So bipolar means fluctuating between two poles
What part of the phospholipid polar?
The head is polar
What is polar of a phospholipid?
The head.
