The phospholipid head is hydrophilic which means it has an affinity for water. And it is true.

<h3>What is phospholipid , its component and how come it is hydrophilic?</h3>
  1. Phospholipid contains of a head and a tail , the head part of phospholipid consist of phosphate group and for further clarification the tail part of phospholipid consist of fatty acids.
  2. As we know already phosphate group that is OH- is negatively charged which clearly which its head is going to be polar .
  3. Since its polar , its hydrophilic. There is a specific function performed by phosphate group that cannot be filled by other compound present simultaneously.
  4. Phosphate group grabs a role to provide space to other compounds too.

Naily [24]

Answer:

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake, he is studying mechanical wave.

Explanation:

The shock waves are experienced during earthquake. At the area of increased pressure shock wave are created as the object in that places moves faster as compared to the speed of sound. Shock wave are type of mechanical wave. For its transfer it requires a medium. An electromagnetic wave can travel of its own without any medium, under electromagnetic wave gamma ray and radio wave comes. they are transverse wave.
