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.
Explanation:
we know that 0.250 L = 0.250 dm3
molarity = concentration in dm3/ volume
molarity = 0.175/0.250 = 0.7 mol/dm3
PH scale is used to determine how acidic, basic or neutral a solution is
pH can be calculated using the H₃O⁺
ph can be calculated as follows
pH = - log[ H₃O⁺]
[H₃O⁺] = 1 x 10⁻⁹
pH = - log [1 x 10⁻⁹]
pH = 9
pH of solution is 9
