Answer:

are hydrophilic and face outward toward the aqueous solution on both sides of the membrane

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is structurally made up of a phospholipid bilayer, which is amphipathic in natire. This means that the phospholipid layer of the plasma membrane consists of phosphate head that is water loving or hydrophilic in nature and a lipid tail that is water fearing or hydrophobic in nature.

Since the phosphate head is HYDROPHILIC, they face outward toward the aqueous (water) solution on both sides of the membrane. This allows the phosphate head to attract water molecules.

How can scientists know what happened to Earth's climate hundreds of thousands of years ago?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

But if scientists want to know what Earth's climate was like hundreds of thousands to millions of years ago, they study sediment cores and ice cores. Sediment cores come from the bottoms of lakes or the ocean floor. Ice cores are drilled from deep — sometimes miles — below the surface of the ice in places like Antarctica.
