Why do phospholipids form a bilayer in water?

Biology

When Phospholipds are mixed with water , they spontaneously rearrange themselves to form the lowest free- energy configuration. this means that the hydrophohobic regions find ways to remove themselves from water , while the hydrophilic regions interact with water. the resulting structure is called a lipid bilayer.

Answer:

The fatty acid tails are cluster together to form the phospholipid bilayer.

Explanation:

A phospholipid is an amphipathic molecule having a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. Phospholipid consists of three components such as phosphate head, glycerol, and Fatty acid tails. The phosphate head is the water-loving side. It comes in contact with water. The fatty acid tail is a water-hating side. They cluster together and don't allow water to pass through them. Thus another phospholipid layer forms inside the cell forming a lipid bilayer. In the lipid bilayer, the middle layer is lipid tails while outer and inner are phosphate heads.

Brown spotting of the teeth in humans is caused by a dominant X-linked gene. If a man with normal teeth marries a woman with bro
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The female with brown teeth had a father with normal teeth. Since normal teeth is a recessive trait, the father would have been homozygous recessive for the trait and would have transmitted one recessive allele to the female. Therefore, the female is heterozygous dominant for brown teeth.

Let's assume that the allele for brown teeth is X^B while the one for normal teeth is X^b. The genotype of heterozygous dominant female would be X^BX^b and that of the male with normal teeth would be X^bY.

A cross between X^BX^b and X^bY gives progeny in following phenotype ratio= 1/4 daughter with brown teeth: 1/4 daughter with normal teeth: 1/4 son with brown teeth: 1/4 son with normal teeth. Therefore, the probability of having a daughter with brown teeth is = 25%

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Xylem and phloem are the two conducting tissues of a vascular plants. They are referred to as vascular bundles. Xylem and phloem are responsible for conducting certain substances from one part of the plant to another.

The xylem is responsible for conducting WATER AND DISSOLVED MINERALS from the root of the plants to other parts e.g leaves, stem, flowers etc. while the phloem conducts sugar (product of photosynthesis) e.g glucose from the leaves of the plant to other parts including the stem, root etc.

According to this question, xylem or phloem does not conduct or carry gaseous substances like carbon dioxide (CO2).
