Why do phospholipids form a bilayer in water?

Biology

kupik [55]3 years ago

Answer:

The hydrophobic tails aggregate to form a bi layer.

Explanation:

Phospholipids are major constituents of the plasma membrane. These are triglycerides having lipid part and phosphate part. The phosphate portion is the water-loving/hydrophilic and the glycerol tail or lipid part is water hating/hydrophobic. Hence, it is an amphipathic molecule. The hydrophobic tail aggregate with each other to form a lipid bilayer in the water.  Therefore, the lipid tails prevent water molecules to enter the bilayer.

(-4) + (-4) + 6+6+5 + 5 ​
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: 14

Explanation:

(-4) + (-4) + 6+6+5 + 5 ​

Recall that BODMAS rule must be obeyed

Address bracket first, and note that plus sign multiplied by minus sign becomes minus

so, (-4 - 4) + 6+6+5 + 5

(-8) + 6+6+5 + 5 ​

= (-8) + 6+6+5 + 5 ​

= (-8) + 22

= 14

Thus, the answer is 14

Moving molecules from low to high
Kay [80]

Answer:

Active transport

Explanation:

Diffusion is when particles (like perfume) spread out everywhere from an area where there is a lot of it to where there is a little to none of it. Active transport is the opposite. A cell for example would use it's own energy to absorb nutrients when it already has quite a lot. Naturally diffusion would make the particles or nutrients go out of the cell because there is a lot of it inside the cell not outside, so active transport is used to absorb as much as the cell can from around it, even when it is full.
