What are lipids with polar heads and nonpolar tails called?
Lipids with polar heads and nonpolar tails are called phospholipids. They are a major component of cell membranes, with the polar heads facing the aqueous environment and the nonpolar tails forming the interior of the membrane.
Is C13H18O2 polar or non polar?
it is polar since it has carboxylic acid (propanoic acid) function
Why is the phosphate the polar part of the phosphilipid?
The phospholipid heads are hydrophillic and prefer the water while the tails are hydrophobic and are shielded from the water.
What are the molecules in the plasma membrane made of?
phospholipids are the molecules that make up the plasma membrane and they are made of polar (hydrophilic) heads and 2 non-polar (hydrophobic) tails
What characteristics of phospholipid is important to their function?
they have a polar head and non-polar tails

What is the function hydrophilic heads?
Hydrophobic is the tail of the the molecule that is atrracted to fatty acids and is a water fearing subtance. Also the tail is None-Polar. Hydrophilic is fatty acid fearing and is attracted to water it is the head of the hydrophobic tail. The head is polar.
What is Phosphate heads?
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...
Is C13H18O2 polar or non polar?
it is polar since it has carboxylic acid (propanoic acid) function
Why is the phosphate the polar part of the phosphilipid?
The phospholipid heads are hydrophillic and prefer the water while the tails are hydrophobic and are shielded from the water.
Has water have polar heads and nonpolar tails?
No, that could be a phospholipid that you're thinking of. Water is a polar molecule.
What is the function of the skin of polar bear?
to keep the polar bear skin warm
What characteristics phospholipids is important to their function?
they have a polar head and non-polar tails
What does REC function stand for in a scientific calculator?
Rectangular It converts co-ordinates from a polar form to rectangular (Cartesian) form. It is the opposite of the Pol (or Polar) function.
True or False: One advantage of polar equations is that you can use a polar function to describe a graph whose equation in rectangular coordinates would not be considered a function?
True
What do polar bears wear on their heads?
They wear a puffy layer of fur that keeps them warm when it is cold.
Are polar bears drowning?
No they're not drowning because their long necks keep their heads up.
