What property makes phospholipids ideal building blocks for cell membranes?

Biology
2 answers:
Alenkasestr [34]3 years ago

Answer:

The polarity of the phospholipid makes it ideal for a building block of cell membranes.

Explanation:

There is the tails which are hydrophobic (water fearing) and the heads which are hydrophilic (water loving). These properties of phospholipids allow the tails to go towards eachother and heads to face the water which maintains a solid structure allowing certain materials to pass through.

Answer:

They have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

Explanation:

Phospholipids are organic compounds that consist of two fatty acid hydrophobic tails and a phosphate hydrophilic head.

These properties help in the regulation of the cellular processes. The hydrophobic tails which is non polar doesn’t react with water while the hydrophilic heads help in interaction with water.

This helps in the movement of particles in and out of the cells and stratification of the cell membrane.

What is the purpose of a wasp
Inessa [10]
In early summer wasps, like bees, pollinate plants and flowers as they feed on nectar. If we were to eradicate all wasps, it would cause more problems than it would solve. So, wasps do serve a purpose, and despite being a problem at certain times of the year, they are a beneficial insect.

Mary bought three flowering plants for her garden. The first one has red tubular flowers filled with nectar; the second one has
uranmaximum [27]
I would say that the first flower attracts birds etc. t go and drink it's nectar (also I know that humming birds are attracted to red), and thus spread it's pollen. The second flower most likely attracts bees seeing how t is also sweetly scented, but has no nectar. This must mean that it only has pollen, which bees are great at spreading! I have no clue about the last one....Maybe bugs or bats?? Those are the only other pollinators I know of. It could possibly be that there is no pollinator for the third flower and it just tries to keep animals and insects from eating it with it's shape and odor and just relays on the wind for pollination.<span />
