Why do phospholipids form a bilayer in water?

Biology
1 answer:
snow_lady [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Phospholipids have hydrophobic (water fearing) tails which face each other to form the core of the bilayer while their polar (hydrophilic) head groups face outward.

Explanation: Phospholipids are components of cell membrane. Phospholipids are made up of two parts: the polar (hydrophilic) head group and the nonpolar (hydrophobic) tail. The non polar tails of the Phospholipids are water fearing while the polar head groups are water loving, therefore when phospholipids are mixed with water the hydrophobic tails arrange themselves in a way that they will not come in contact with water molecules. The hydrophobic regions of the lipids face each other forming the interior of the bilayer while the polar head groups face outwards interacting with the surrounding water.

Answer:

Explanation:

c. Transcription of one DNA strand results in mRNA, which is a complementary copy of the information in the DNA.

a. The mRNA leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome open choices for ranking.

b. The building blocks of proteins, are carried to the ribosome by tRNAsAmino acids.

The process of deoxyribonucleic acod starts with replication to transcription and translation.

Replication involves the formation of a complementary base from a old or template DNA Strand this then serve as a template for transcription.

transcription involves the coping of information on the DNA to an intermediate mRNA ( messanger ribonucleic acid) in the nucleus which then move from the nucleus to ribosome in the cytoplasm where translation occurs.

Translation is the conversion of the information on the mRNA to an amino acid with the help of enzyme transferse ribonucleic acid(tRNA).

Hence the arrangement is from C ---- A-----B.
