Biology

Alina [70]3 years ago
5 0
Phospholipids are the outermost layers of animal cells. Its structure is composed of fatty acid chains that are attached to a glycerol backbone, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol. 

The polar end of the phospholipid plasma membrane is hydrophilic (water-loving or can absorb water) and is a negatively charged phosphate group. In the cell they are facing outward, attracting intracellular and extracellular fluid. 

The non-polar tails of the phospholipid are fatty acid chains that are hydrophobic (water-fearing or unable to absorb water). The tails are facing the inside of the cell away from water towards the inner membrane of the cell.

How does the feild that surrounds the electromagnet differ from the Earths magnetic field
tino4ka555 [31]

The differences between the geomagnetism and electromagnetism are given below.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Geomagnetism is defined as the magnetic field that is located all around the earth. Whereas electromagnetism is defined as the magnetic field that is produced due to passing of electricity through a conductor.

The geomagnetism is formed because of the molten elements of iron etc which are present inside Earth's core, and are continuously moving. It mostly resembles the solid block magnet in its field characteristics. But electromagnetism is different. It can be changed according to the current input which isn't possible for Earth’s magnetic field.
