Draw the structure for phenyl acetate.

Which is a characteristic of the phospholipids in cell membranes? Select one: Phospholipids in a membrane interact with other membrane molecules, in part, through covalent forces Phospholipids are lipid molecules with a polar head and a non-polar tail, where the interaction of these components with other molecules of itself, results in membrane formation Increasing the proportion of protein in a membrane increases the amount of membrane symmetry Increasing the proportion of saturated fatty acids in a membrane increases membrane fluidity A phospholipid molecule glows in the dark after exposure to visible light
