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.

Even though chestnuts can regrow from their roots, this does not usually happen because
Olenka [21]

Answer: New growth is stricken with the blight before it has the chance to mature.

Explanation:

American Chestnut trees can indeed regrow from their roots but due to the devastating effect of the chestnut blight, they have been unable to do this since the blight spread across the country.

The blight was introduced when Chinese chestnut trees were imported into the U.S. in the 20th century. It killed off most of the chestnut trees in the U.S. and attacks the tree again when it grows to around 6 meters bringing it down to its roots. This is why the American Chestnut is considered endangered.
