Which function of the mitochondria might be.

. In the phospholipid bilayer the hydrophilic tails are positioned inward. Polar head and non-polar tail D. So the correct answer is Two layers of phospholipids where the outer layer has the hydrophilic heads facing toward the outside of the cell and the inner layer have the hydrophobic tails facing toward the inside of the cell.

Complete the sentence below. Hydrophobic tails face inward and create a hydrophobic interior. A scientist places human blood cells into an unknown solution.

The gymnosperms were the first seed plants to have evolved some about 3827 million to 3589 million years ago in the Devonian period. Phospholipids make up the basic structure of a cell membrane. Phospholipids Cholesterol Integral proteins.

They evolved after the seedless vascular plants. A major function of glycoproteins and glycolipids in the membane is to. Which of the following statements accurately describes the phospholipid bilayer.

When many phospholipids line up they form a double layer that is. This means that it likes or is attracted to water molecules. Non-polar head and a polar tail C.

The plasma membrane of a cell contains molecules that have a hydrophobic end and a hydrophilic end. Non-polar head and a non-polar tail. What term best describes the tail end of a phospholipid.

It consists of a. A phospholipid is an amphiphilicmolecule consisting of a polarhead region a unit of glycerol and two or more non-polarfatty acid tails typically found in a cell membrane. The movement of serval ions across a cell membrane.

What best describes the head end of a phospholipid. Which of the following is the primary function of the nucleus. A single phospholipid molecule has two different ends.

A phospholipid is a type of lipid molecule that is the main component of the cell membraneLipids are molecules that include fats waxes and some vitamins among others. Allow cells to identify each other. Which one of the following terms best describes a phospholipid.

They were the ancestor of the seed plants like the heterosporous earlier gymnosperms were pteridosperms or seed ferns. The phosphate group is negatively charged making the head polar and hydrophilic or water loving. An organism ingests a toxin that damages the mitochondria of its cells.

The phosphate heads are thus attracted to the water. The primary component of the cell membrane is the group of lipids called. In the phospholipid bilayer the hydrophilic heads are positioned inward.

It consists of a. What terms best describes the tail at the end of a phospholipid. Glue cells together to form tissues.

A single phospholipid molecule has a phosphate group on one end called the head and two side-by-side chains of fatty acids that make up the lipid tails. The hydrocarbon tails ie. The head end contains a phosphate group and is hydrophilic.

The tails of a phospholipid are made of. Each phospholipid is made up of two fatty acids a phosphate group and a glycerol molecule. Which one of the following terms best describes a phospholipid.

The tail end is made up of two strings of hydrogen and carbon atoms called fatty acid chains. What are they called. In the phospholipid bilayer the hydrophobic heads are positioned inward.

Attach membrane to cytoskeleton. A head and a tail. A phospholipid is an amphipathic molecule which means it has both a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic component.

___________ form the two layers of the cell membrane. For each ion the relative concentration on each side of the membrane is shown. Polar head and polar tail B.
