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.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Electrolyte

Explanation:

A compound that conducts electricity when dissolved in water would most likely be classified as electrolyte.

The ionic compound in solid form do not conduct the electricity but when dissolve in water they separated into ions and have ability to conduct the electricity because of mobile ions that move freely and allow the charge to flow.

The ionic compounds are called electrolyte and electrolyte solution is formed when they dissolve in water.

For example when sodium chloride is placed into water it split into ions and conduct electricity because of mobile ions.
