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).

The polar head of a phospholipid is made of what molecules?
Phospholipids are made up of both water loving, and water repelling materials. They head, which is made of glycerol, is water repelling and therefore forms the outer and inner parts of the cell, away from the water. Where as the tails are made up of fatty acids that are water loving and point in between the heads, and into the water between the two glycerol layers.
Within a lipid bilayer which part of the phospholipid is in contact with water?
The hydrophilic "head" region of the phospholipid is in contact with water in a lipid bilayer. This head region contains a phosphate group and glycerol and is attracted to water molecules due to its polar nature.
What part of the phospholipid polar?
The head is polar
Is the glycerol head of a lipid is polar or nonpolar?
glycerin was polar. One day it became non polar. So it depends upon time!!
What is non-polar trail and polar head?
Non-polar tail refers to the hydrophobic region of a phospholipid molecule, which repels water molecules. Polar head refers to the hydrophilic region of a phospholipid molecule, which is attracted to water molecules. Together, they form the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes.
What is polar head of a phospholipid is made of?
Phosphate molecules.

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).
Is the polar head of a phospholipid made of molecules?
Phosphate molecules.
What is polar of a phospholipid?
The head.
What makes the head of a phospholipid?
Phosphate molecules.
What is a phosphate head?
also can be known as polar head since phosphate is polar found in phospholipid bilayer also can be known as polar head since phosphate is polar found in phospholipid bilayer Was this right? i would like to know...
The head of the phospholipid is?
The head of a phospholipid molecule is hydrophilic, meaning it interacts well with water. This phosphate-containing region has a charged or polar nature, allowing it to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. This hydrophilic head faces outwards towards the water in cellular membranes.
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 the glycerol head of a lipid is polar or nonpolar?
glycerin was polar. One day it became non polar. So it depends upon time!!
