Answer:

The correct answer will be nonpolar and hydrophobic.

Explanation:

Phospholipid molecules are the main components of the plasma membrane or cell membrane. These are the lipid molecules which consists of a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and a hydrophobic (water-fearing) tail.

The hydrophilic head is made up of glycerol attached to the phosphate group while the hydrophobic tail is made of two long fatty acids which are attached to the glycerol molecule. The long fatty acyl chain provides the hydrophobic nature of phospholipids which makes cell membrane of the cell.

Thus, nonpolar and hydrophobic is the correct answer.

The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are non-polar and hydrophobic.

Fats that you take in from your food is used to build membranes. Membranes can be represented by models such as The Fluid Mosaic Model, which displays the phospholipid bilayr, and other tissues on the membrane.

Microscopic plants called algae grow inside the top layer of sea ice in the Antarctic if enough sunlight reaches that layer of i
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: (A).

Explanation:

  • In the question, it is mentioned that the algae can grow under the conditions of "enough sunlight" and "enough nutrients".
  • Sunlight reaches the algae, by first falling on the surface made up of ice and snow and then refracting from there into the top layer of the ice where the algae grows.
  • However, the capability of both snow and ice to reflect sunlight is far more than that of refracting sunlight.
  • Therefore, the amount of light received by the algae is similar in absence or presence of the layer of snow on the top layer of ice.
  • However, on deposition of snow on the layer of the ice, the weight of the ice increases and it sinks below into sea water.
  • This allows more nutrient rich sea water to percolate into the ice and reach the algae.
  • The algae receive more nutrients from the sea water and hence is capable undergoing better metabolism and growth.
  • Hence, more algae are produced under such a situation.
