The phospholipid heads are hydrophillic and prefer the water while the tails are hydrophobic and are shielded from the water.

Is calcium phosphate moderately polar or very polar?

Calcium phosphate is considered moderately polar. It contains polar covalent bonds due to the electronegativity difference between calcium, phosphorus, and oxygen, but it is not as polar as some other compounds with more pronounced differences in electronegativity.


The phosphate groups are the polar part of e phospolipid because they are?

The phosphate groups are the polar part of a phospholipid because they contain charged oxygen atoms, which interact favorably with water molecules. This polar nature allows them to form hydrogen bonds with water, making the phosphate head hydrophilic (water-attracting). In contrast, the fatty acid tails are hydrophobic (water-repelling) due to their long hydrocarbon chains, resulting in the characteristic bilayer formation of cell membranes.
