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.

What percent of the sunlight is actually converted into chemical energy via photosynthesis?
kirill115 [55]

Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants and few organisms use sunlight to synthesize their food from carbon di- oxide and water. In plants, during photosynthesis, green pigment known as chlorophyll is involved and oxygen is generated at a by product.

All the sunlight falling on plant is not absorbed. Only half of the falling light which lies in the right frequency to power photosynthesis is absorbed. Out of this falling light, only 8 % to 11% is absorbed by the plant and only 3 % to 6 % is actually used to form chemical energy.
