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
Answer:
Like a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes. However, unlike prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells have: a membrane-bound nucleus. numerous membrane-bound organelles (including the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, and mitochondria)
