Phospholipids have polar head and non-polar tails. Phospholipids help form cell barriers, like the cell membrane.

They have a hydrophilic head which contains a phosphate group and hydrophobic heads that are made up of chains of fatty aids.

Which lipids are polar?
There are 4 classes of lipids. Neutral fats, phospholipids, steroids, and eicosanoids. Phospholipids are polar.
What cell is cytoplasmic DNA a feature of?
Phospholipids.
Do phospholipids contain polar tails and nonpolar head groups?
The compound with both a non-polar tail and a polar head is called an amphiphilic molecule. An amphiphilic molecule can form micelles. These such micelles is how detergents dissolve dirt. A big example of micelles are phospholipids.
What makes up most of the molecules in the plasma membrane?
The main component of the cell membrane is phospholipids. These are molecules with a polar (hydrophilic, water-loving) head composed of a phosphate (and usually a choline) and a non-polar (hydrophobic, water-hating) tail composed of fatty acids. In the cell membrane, these phospholipids are arranged in a bilayer - with heads facing the outside and the tails facing each other in the centre of the membrane.
Because cells have a watery environment bothinside and outside the polar ends of the phospholipids in the plasma membrane from layer?
Because cells have a watery environment both inside and outsidethe polar ends of the phospholipids in the plasma membrane form layers?
What part of the phospholipids are polar?
The head is polar
Which lipids are polar?

What makes up most of a cell's membrane's?
Phospholipids is what makes up cell membranes. These are molecules with a polar head composed of a phosphate.
What characteristics of phospholipid is important to their function?
they have a polar head and non-polar tails

Phospholipids.
What are macromolecule with a polar glycerol head and 2 non-polar hydrophobic tails?
Phospholipids
What are lipids with polar heads and nonpolar tails called?
phospholipids
What head of the phospholipids can interact with the internal environment of the cell?
pOLAR
What two make up the cell membrane?
The lipid bilayer makes up the membrane of a cell. The lipid bilayer consists of opposing phospholipids, where the polar ends of both the top layer and the bottom layer of phospholipids face opposite directions.
What has a polar head and two non polar tails and combine with proteins to make cell membrane?
Phospholipids :)
What makes up two layer of the cell membrane?
Both layers are composed of phospholipids (with the tails facing in towards each other, and the polar heads facing out).
