Answer:

Hydrophillic head and a hydrophobic tail

Explanation:

Every fatty acid is composed of long chain of hydrocarbon tail. This hydrocarbon tail is nonpolar and insoluble in water. Hence this tail is labeled 'hydrophobic'.

However, the head of the fatty acid contains polar COOH group which is capable of interacting with water, hence the head is hydrophillic.

Hence, a fatty acid is composed of a hydrophillic head and a hydrophobic tail.

What is the difference between mechanical digestion and chemical digestion?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

So, Mechanical and Chemical Digestion is the way of breaking down foods in the body. The difference between Mechanical and Chemical Digestion is, Mechanical Digestion involves the body's movement to make the food smaller and Chemical Digestion involves enzymes to break the food down.

Explanation:

Since Mechanical Digestion involves moving around to break the food down, you would get up and walk around a little to burn it to make it work and Chemical Digestion is just using the natural enzymes in the body to break food down.
