Phospholipids form the main fabric of the plasma membrane. One feature of phospholipids is that when they are placed in an aqueo

us solution, they will self-assemble into a double layer (bilayer) that resembles the bilayer of the plasma membrane. This self-assembly occurs because phospholipids are hydrophilic at one end (the phospholipid head) and hydrophobic at the other end (the phospholipid tails).
EF- A) hydrophilic
Cytoplasm- B) hydrophilic
PM- C) grey on top, yellow on bottom
PM- D) grey on bottom, yellow on top
outside MP- E) hydrophilic
middle MP- F) hydrophobic
outside MP- G)hydrophilic
(Phospholipids make up the main fabric of the plasma membrane. In the plasma membrane, the phospholipids are found in a bilayer. The hydrophilic heads are exposed to the aqueous environments of the cytoplasm and extracellular fluid, and the hydrophobic tails are sandwiched within, sheltered from these aqueous environments.
Other elements of the plasma membrane conform to the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions established by the phospholipids. For example, membrane proteins have hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions that are found among the hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions of the plasma membrane, respectively. Cholesterol is a hydrophobic molecule and is found among the hydrophobic tails, which you can see in the figure below)

The bilayer of the plasma membrane is similar to the bilayer formed by phospholipids when they self-assemble.

<h3>Does the primary structure of the cell membrane consist of phospholipids?</h3>

The basic structure of the plasma membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids. Being amphipathic, or having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas, makes them ideal for this function. Hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails are visible in the chemical structure of phospholipids.

<h3>Why are phospholipids present in the plasma membrane?</h3>

The main lipids in membranes, phospholipids, are made up of lipid bilayers. Furthermore, it allows numerous cellular processes to take place in subcellular compartments while serving as a barrier to guard the cell against various environmental disturbances.

__ is to a point source of water pollution as ________ is to a nonpoint source of water pollution.
Ad libitum [116K]
The more probable answer is b: power plant effluent; golf course runoff, although a: <span>power plant effluent; an underground coal mine drain, is also a possible answer.

The source of effluent from a power plant occupies a small, well defined space, i.e. an effluent pipe. This is what is known as a point source, as you can identify with high confidence the spatial and temporal boundaries of the source of pollution. Point sources are relatively easy to quantify and manage because they are so well defined in space and time. Reducing pollution from point sources could be achieved by simply treating effluent to a higher standard or reducing the amount of effluent released. Runoff from land, such as a golf course, is what is defined as a non-point source pollutant. The spatial and temporal aspects of this sort of pollution are much harder to define, as the pathways of runoff from the land into the river may be highly dispersed and variable over time. These sorts of pollution are therefore much harder to quantify and manage.</span>

What is the purpose of a cell wall in plant cells
Bogdan [553]

The cell wall is an outer protective membrane in many cells including plants, fungi, algae, and bacteria. Animal cells do not have a cell wall. The main functions of the cell wall are to provide structure, support, and protection for the cell
