The cells of plant seeds store oils in the form of droplets enclosed by membranes. The oil droplet membrane consists of a single

layer of phospholipids rather than a bilayer. Explain why in this case a single layer would be more stable than a bilayer.

Answer:

Explanation:

A single layer of phospholipids forms what is called a micelle. The polar and hydrophilic phospho head groups would form the outermembrane which interacts with the aqueous environment. The nonpolar and hydrophobic lipid tails would be in the cytosol where they pack tightly and form stable interactions with the hydrophobic chains of the stored oil molecules.

Answer:

Explanation:

The cells of plant seeds store oil as droplet and enclosed by membranes. The two membranes are cell membrane and oil droplet membrane and the two contain phospholipds with hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head. The bilayer of the cell membrane has hydrophobic on the side and hydrophilic inside and this enable mobility of molecules in and out of the cell.

The single layer of phospholipids in the oil membrane can either have hydrophobic on a side and hydrophilic on another side, molecule don't move much in it. Oil is hyrophobic, the membrane has a single layer with hydrophobic tail in the oil and hydrophilic head inside and this will help the oil to form droplets.

How many more times is lemon juice more acidic than tomato juice
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

lemon juice is 100 times as acidic as tomato juice. remember, each step in the pH scale represents a change in concentration by a factor of 10. since tomato juice has a pH of 4.0, and lemon juice has a pH of 2.0, the concentration would change by 10 times 10.
