Why do phospholipids form a bilayer in water

Biology
1 answer:
Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago
8 0
Phospholipids will form a bilayer in water because they contain hydrophobic (Water fearing.. in this cause water "hating") tails and hydrophilic heads (water loving). So they form a bilayer to remove the tails from water likewise, this satisfies the hydrophilic heads because they are still exposed to water.

In pea plants purple flowers are dominant to white flowers.
algol13

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for flower color in pea plants. The allele for purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p). This means that purple color will be expressed in a heterozygous state.

According to this question, If two white flowered plants are cross i.e. pp × pp, the following gametes will be produced by each of the parent: p and p. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), ALL (100%) of the offsprings will be white colored (pp).

Therefore, 100% of the offsprings will be white flowered.

Why do cells divide instead of just grow larger
hjlf
There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger. One of the main reason is that the larger cell become more demanding, therefore the large cell will increase load on the machinery of the cell such as DNA. The other reason is that if the cell grow too large it will be difficult for the cell to move for nutrients and discard the waste across the cell membrane. Also the surface area for each cell will also be reduced, which is required for active functionality of a cell.

Composed of a phosohlipid bilayer
Zigmanuir [339]

The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer.

The cell membrane is primarily composed of a mix of proteins and phospholipids

Phospholipids are a major component of cell membranes.  They a head and a tail. The head is hydrophilic  (attracted to water) and the tail is hydrophobic (repelled by water).

They form a bilayer in which their hydrophilic heads face the aqueous cytosol and extracellular fluid  while their hydrophobic tails face away from the cytosol  and extracellular fluid.

The lipid bilayer is semi - permeable
