Question
Chapter 5, Problem 2AC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The structure or the configuration of 10 phospholipid molecules when immersed in vegetable oil.
Introduction:
Phospholipids make up the cell membrane. They are composed of a head part and a tail part. The head part is polar and is attracted to water. In other words, the head part is hydrophilic or water-loving. The tail part is nonpolar and is repelled by water. In other words, the tail part is hydrophobic.
