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.

Imagine a disease that kills 50% of the male roaches i a population. do you think this would affect birth rate? briefly explain.
dmitriy555 [2]
Well either way, it would be difficult for them to find mates, but if 50% of males were gone, the females would be able to reproduce with the men they have but if the females were killed off, it would affect birth rates even worse because the women carry the offspring. All of this also includes the offspring's gender

Where are the different levels of the atmosphere located?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Troposphere

The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5 kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most dense. Almost all weather is in this region.

Stratosphere

The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50 kilometers (31 miles) high. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer.

Mesosphere

The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85 kilometers (53 miles) high. Meteors burn up in this layer

Thermosphere

The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600 kilometers (372 miles) high. Aurora and satellites occur in this layer.

Ionosphere

The ionosphere is an abundant layer of electrons and ionized atoms and molecules that stretches from about 48 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface to the edge of space at about 965 km (600 mi), overlapping into the mesosphere and thermosphere. This dynamic region grows and shrinks based on solar conditions and divides further into the sub-regions: D, E and F; based on what wavelength of solar radiation is absorbed. The ionosphere is a critical link in the chain of Sun-Earth interactions. This region is what makes radio communications possible.

Exosphere

This is the upper limit of our atmosphere. It extends from the top of the thermosphere up to 10,000 km (6,200 mi).
