Question

fatty acids form the non-polar hydrophobic end, while nitrogenous compound and phosphoric acid form the polar hydrophilic end"

Answer 1

Hey mate here's your answer

• Phospholipids consist of a glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol.
• The phosphate group is the negatively-charged polar head, which is hydrophilic.
• The fatty acid chains are the uncharged, nonpolar tails, which are hydrophobic.
• Since the tails are hydrophobic, they face the inside, away from the water and meet in the inner region of the membrane.
• Since the heads are hydrophilic, they face outward and are attracted to the intracellular and extracellular fluid.
• If phospholipids are placed in water, they form into micelles, which are lipid molecules that arrange themselves in a spherical form in aqueous solutions.
