Passive Transport: Simple Diffusion. Diffusion across a cell membrane is a type of passive transport, or transport across the cell membrane that does not require energy. ... Molecules that are hydrophobic, just like the hydrophobic region, can pass through the cell membrane by simple diffusion.
C is found in cell membranes
Answer:
Option 1, a charged end and a noncharged end
Explanation:
Complete question
If a small droplet of ordinary fat is suspended in water, the fat molecules form a "ball of spaghetti" with no particular orientation. But if a droplet of phospholipid molecules is put in water, all the molecules point outward, toward the water. Phospholipids are forced into this orientation because phospholipids have _____
- a charged end and a noncharged end
- three fatty acid molecules, all pointing in different directions
- two fatty acid molecules pointing in different directions
- both a saturated fatty acid and an unsaturated fatty acid
- two charged ends
Solution
The structure of phospholipids consists of the following groups and molecules –
a) A glycerol molecule
b) Fatty acids (2 in numbers) – It is hydrophobic as it is uncharged and non polar in nature
c) Phosphate group (with alcohol) – It is hydrophilic as it is negatively charged and polar in nature.
When the phospholipids are placed in water, the molecule rearranges itself in a way that the hydrophobic head face inside and the hydrophilic head face outside thereby forming micelles.
Hence, option 1 is correct
