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.

Certain types of ________ have a relationship with certain plants where they help convert nitrogen into a usable form.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Answer is C. Bacteria

Certain types of bacteria have a relationship with certain plants where they help convert nitrogen into a usable form.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere, but plants cannot use it because of the absence of a necessary enzyme, nitrogenase, which converts nitrogen into a usable form.  So they form a symbiotic relationship (mutually-beneficial arrangement) with nitrogen fixing soil bacteria (rhizobia) which perform biological nitrogen fixation. Biological nitrogen fixation is a process in which the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria coverts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and organic derivatives that plants can use to synthesize proteins.  This bacteria form nodules on the roots of plants like legumes in which nitrogen fixation takes place.

Both plants and bacteria benefit from this symbiotic relationship, as the plant obtains ammonia to synthesize proteins from nitrogen in the atmosphere while bacteria obtain carbon compounds from the plant produced through photosynthesis and a secure environment to grow. As the plant roots leave behind some of the usable form of nitrogen in the soil, this process also increase soil fertility.
