Answer:

Phylum Nematoda

Explanation:

<u>Caenorhabditis.elegans</u> is a free-living transparent nematode about 1 mm in length.

C. elegans is a nematode—a member of the phylum Nematoda:

<u>Nematoda.</u>

The roundworms and threadworms, a phylum of smooth-skinned, unsegmented worms with a long cylindrical body shape tapered at the ends; includes free-living and parasitic forms both aquatic and terrestrial.

<u>C.</u> <u>elegans</u> is a non-hazardous, non-infectious, non-pathogenic, non-parasitic organism.  It is small, growing to about 1 mm in length, and lives in the soil—especially rotting vegetation—in many parts of the world, where it survives by feeding on microbes such as bacteria. It is of no economic importance to man.

1. How is it possible for a phospholipid to be hydrophilic and hydrophobic? (2)<br> 1
swat32
Phospholipids consist of a glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol. The phosphate group is the negatively-charged polar head, which is hydrophilic. The fatty acid chains are the uncharged, nonpolar tails, which are hydrophobic.
