Answer:

A phospholipid

a. has both polar and nonpolar regions.

Explanation:

Phospholipids, as amphipathic molecules, 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 hydrophilic (water-loving) polar head, which face outward and are attracted to the intracellular and extracellular fluid.  The fatty acids are the uncharged, hydrophobic (water-fearing) nonpolar tails, which face the inside, away from the water and meet in the inner region of the membrane.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

C. About 18 percent of the variation in blood pressure can be explained by a linear relationship between blood pressure and caffeine consumed.

Explanation:

Here, r = 0.428

∴ We can say it will give a positive curve, as 0.428 indicates it is a positive correlation.

Though the amount of correlation is low, still it is positive and more than 0.4

So, nearly about 18% of the variation in the blood pressure can be observed by the consumption of caffeine water. As consumption of caffeine water and blood pressure is both increasing so we can say that r= 0.428 will give a positive linear curve.
