Answer: The correct answer is-

b.the hydrocarbon tails.

A phospholipid molecule comprises of a head group (that contains polar phosphate molecule) that is hydrophilic ( water attracting groups due to formation of hydrogen bonding or ionic bonds with water molecules) and two tails of fatty acid ( which are hydrophobic that is water repelling groups).

In this question, a single layer of phospholipid coats the water in a beaker. This means that head group of this layer is in contact of water ( present in the beaker) and the two fatty acid tails of hydrocarbon ( that are water repelling) are facing air.

Thus, option b) is the right answer.

The part of the phospholipid molecule that will face the water, as it is labelled to be hydrophilic would be the polar phosphate group. The correct response would be A.

A pregnant woman will probably not be able to deliver her baby vaginally if the ____________ is not large enough to accommodate
valina [46]

The answer is pelvic outlet. It is because if this is not large enough and it is small, the baby won’t be able to be carried or delivered out from the woman’s vagina as it won’t fit the baby and will likely lead to complications if pushed through.

Three reasons why do you think women in today's society could be more obese than men in South Africa​
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Three Reasons

Explanation:

1, due to the genome. By birth, there is a biologically higher percentage of body fat in women.

2, unemployment. As normally in a South African household, it is the man that goes out to work while the women stay at home. loss of mobility means the accumulation of fats.

3, Males' major sex hormone is testosterone, and females have high levels of estrogen and progesterone in their blood. Females build up fat more easily than males.
