Phospholipids make up most of the lipid part of the cell membrane. Since water exists on both the outside and inside of a cell,

which of the following phospholipid arrangements makes the most sense?a single layer of phospholipids with the polar heads facing outside the celltwo back-to-back phospholipid layers with the non-polar tails facing out on both sidesa single layer of phospholipids with the polar heads facing inside the celltwo back-to-back phospholipid layers with the polar heads facing out on both sides

Answer:

Two back-to-back phospholipid layers with the polar heads facing out on both sides

Explanation:

Phospholipids are made up of a head  and two tails. The head can be described as a phosphate molecule that is water loving (hydrophilic) whereas fatty acids make up the two tails. The fatty acids repel water and hence are hydrophobic. The assembling of the phospholipids for the the formation of cell membrane depends on these hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. The assembling of the phospholipids is in two layers. The phosphate head face outwards on both sides to attract water and the tails tend to hide from the water molecules by being composed in the layers of the head. this assembling is termed as the "self-assembly".

<span>Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) were first discovered in Germany in 1856 and are believed to emerged between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago. </span>

<span>Significant differences found in the human and </span>Neanderthal includes<span>: 1) their DNA, 2) the brain of a Neanderthal had a raised larynx and was also bigger, and  3) Compared to modern humans, Neanderthals had bigger and muscular body but with shorter legs.</span>

Cro-magnon is<span> the earliest known Western European example of our species who lived  35,000 and 10,000 years ago. They are believed to be actually modern in every anatomical respect. They are much like us.</span>

<span>Neanderthal and Cro-magnon were believed to overlap in Europe for a thousand years but long-term interbreeding was not seen. </span>
