Answer:

3. Tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic.

Explanation:

According to the fluid mosaic model, the plasma or cell membrane contains components such as: proteins, phospholipids etc. The phospholipid forms a layer called PHOSPHOLIPID LAYER, which comprises of a phosphate head and a fatty acid (lipid) tail.

The phosphate head is HYDROPHILIC i.e. water-logging while the fatty acid/lipid tail is HYDROPHOBIC i.e. water-fearing. Hence, according to this question, it is TRUE that the tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic.

Note: Phospholipid layer, which are selectively-permeable i.e do not allow the passage of molecules, allows the passage/diffusion of small molecules like oxygen gas.

What would happen to our solar system if the Sun had an even greater mass than it currently does?
motikmotik

Answer: If the Sun had an even greater mass then it currently does, it would have a larger gravitational pull and since it's heat would be closer to Earth, both by magnitude and gravity, life on Earth wouldn't be possible and life on Mars would be reality. Also, when the sun would explode, it would have a larger supernova and possibly create a white dwarf (something that only happens to red supergiant stars when they die), with a gravitational force so strong it wold have two beams of light coming out it's north and south poles (like a black hole).

I hope this helps!
