Answer: option D

Explanation:

Although they can be in constant lateral motion. The lipid bilayer membrane is so organized in the sense that the hydrophilic heads which might contain some polar or molecules that can mix with water faces both the cytosol and the outer environment while the hydrophobic tails of both layers that are entirely insoluble in water faces one another thus forming a core that repels mixing. This it is very rare for the possibilities molecules to flip.

Why does water have unique characteristics compared to other similar
maksim [4K]

Answer:

A. Water molecules have strong intermolecular attractions.

Explanation:

Water molecules have strong intermolecular attractions due to the presence of hydrogen bond between oxygen and hydrogen atoms. This hydrogen bond is present between hydrogen of one water molecule to the oxygen of another water molecule. This hydrogen bond is weaker than covalent bond so that's why it can be broken down and water is converted into vapours form by heating.
