First step is to get the mass of water molecule in grams:
From the periodic table:
molar mass of hydrogen is 1
molar mass of oxygen is 16
molar mass of a water molecule = 2(1) + 16 = 18 gm
Now, to convert the gm into amu, all you have to do is multiply the gm you got by Avogadro's number as follows:
mass of water molecule = 18 x 6.22 x 10^23 = 1.1196 x 10^25 amu which is approximately 1 x 10^25 amu
The nucleus while large has a small ratio of mass when dealing with atoms, they are very spread out and are mostly solid with a blocky shape.
Isoelectronic species are ions or elements that have equal number of electrons. From the root word, electron of the word isoelectronic. On the other hand, isotructural species are compounds with the same structures.Hope this answers the question.

Answer:
Triacylglycerols (triglycerides) are non-polar or hydrophobic molecules
Glycerophospholipids (phosphoglycerides) are polar or hydrophilic
Explanation:
Triacylglycerides (TGs) are esters synthesized by the esterification of three molecules of glycerol and fatty acid, and this is essentially by the replacement of the three hydroxyl groups on glycerol with three fatty acids. This removes the hydrophilic property from the glycerol molecule hence TGs are only soluble in non-polar solvents like alcohol and benzene, and TGs are therefore the storage forms of fats in adipose tissues.
Glycerophospholipids are formed by the addition of two hydrophobic fatty acid groups and one phosphoric acid (phosphate group) to glycerol (alcohol) leaving a hydrophilic head (phosphate end) and a hydrophobic tail (fatty acid ends). This amphipathic property of this molecule makes it a suitable molecule for membrane structures, especially of cells (lipid bi-layer), with an arrangement where the hydrophilic side interacts with the aqueous environment, while the hydrophobic side makes contact with the non-aqueous environment.
