Describe how phospholipids form a barrier between water inside the cell and water outside the cell

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago
6 0
<span>Phospholipids would have to form a phospholipid bilayer in order to achieve water on the outside and water inside. This is because the nonpolar tails of the phospholipids are facing each other in a water environment because they cannot interact with the water, only their own tails, while the phosphate heads of the molecule face the periphery of the tails and interact with water. Micelles are the simplest examples of these.</span>

Why is the base of an energy pyramid wider than the top
Zepler [3.9K]

It is due to a lack of providable energy to the next trophic level of the energy pyramid. Primary consumers only obtain around 10% of energy that producers have, and the energy depletes as you move further and further up the food chain, until you reach the tertiary consumers which have the least amount of energy at their disposal, meaning there are less of them than other organisms further down the energy pyramid.

What is the product of the reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid when heated together
natulia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direct reaction of a carboxylic acid with an amine would be expected to be difficult because the basic amine would deprotonate the carboxylic acid to form a highly unreactive carboxylate. However when the ammonium carboxylate salt is heated to a temperature above 100 C water is driven off and an amide is formed.

Predidt the direction and the relative value of the dipole moment of the following bond: C-Cl
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

D. C → Cl electronegativity difference > 0.5

Explanation:

The electro negativity of an atom in a compound refers to its ability to attract the electrons of a bond towards itself.

On the Pauling's scale, carbon has an electro negativity value of 2.55 while that of chlorine is 3.16. The difference in electro negativity between the both atoms is about 0.61.

The dipole is aslways directed towards the more electronegative atom. Hence the direction is ; C → Cl
