Phospholipid molecule is actually almost similar to a lipid molecule. It is a alcohol connected to 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group.(In lipids, its connected to 3 fatty acids)

The phosphate group of a phospholipid?

The phosphate group of a phospholipid is a charged, hydrophilic region that is typically located at one end of the molecule. It contributes to the overall polarity of the phospholipid molecule, making it amphipathic and allowing it to form cell membranes. The phosphate group can interact with water molecules, helping to stabilize the lipid bilayer structure.


What is polar head of a phospholipid is made of?

Phosphate molecules.


Does the phospholipids have a phosphate group?

Yes, phospholipids have a phosphate group in their structure. This phosphate group is attached to the glycerol backbone of the phospholipid molecule, along with two fatty acid chains.


Is phospholipid protein?

No, they are called phospholipids because they are made of lipids and phosphate group. Most phospholipids contain a diglyceride, a phosphate group, and a simple organic molecule such as choline.


How ar phospholipid different from from triglyceride?

One of the glycerine ester bonding sites is taken by a phosphate group and this allows only two fatty acid tails in the phospholipid molecule.


Which part of a phospholipid is charged or polar?

The phosphate head group of a phospholipid is charged or polar. It contains a negatively charged phosphate group and is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water.


What molecule never contains a phosphate group?

Quite a few fit that description (including water, carbon dioxide, borane etc.)


What makes the head of a phospholipid?

Phosphate molecules.


What does phosphorylation do for a molecule?

it adds a phosphate group Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate (PO43−) group to a protein or other organic molecule.


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.


What part of a nucleotide contains phosphorus?

The phosphate group of a nucleotide contains phosphorus. It is attached to the sugar molecule in a nucleotide structure, along with a nitrogenous base.


Is cholesterol a phospholipid?

No it is in fact not a phospholipid just a lipid. A phospholipid needs a phosphate group and cholesterols molecular formula is C-27 H-46 O and with no Phosphate it can not be a phospholipid.
