The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are what?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
Why there is a bend in fatty acid tail of the phospholipid molecule?
Due to presence of double bond in tail .
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.
Which part of phospholipd molecule is non polar and hydrophobic?
The fatty acid tails of the phospholipid is hydrophobic.
What is the tail of a phospholipid made of?
Phosphoplipids are very similar to triglycerides in that both molecules are triesters of glycerol. However one of the fatty carboxylate groups is replace with a phosphate group. Because the nature of the phosphate group is zwiterionic meaning it contains both a positive and negative charge throughough the molecule to yield a net charge of 0 overall (there is a negative charge on phosphate group and a positive charge on an amine salt further down the fatty chain. It is this zwitterionic sextion of the molecule that gives rise to the molecule's "polar head". The two fatty esters comprise the two tails.
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.
What are the fatty acids in the tail of the phospholipid molecule?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule

What the parts of a phospholipid molecule?
Head and hydrophobic tail
What are the parts a phospholipid molecule?
Head and hydrophobic tail
What are parts of a phospholipid molecule?
Head and hydrophobic tail
Why there is a bend in fatty acid tail of the phospholipid molecule?
Due to presence of double bond in tail .
At one end of a tRNA molecule there exists a short tail. This tail?
binds an amino acid
Can you mix water and oil?
Yes, by adding a surfactant which is detergent. it acts by attaching the polar water with its head and the non polar oil by its tail. so they mix
