Question

phospholipids
polar group
fatty acid \tails\
phosphate \head\ group
non - polar region
:: unsaturated groups only :: main component of cell membranes :: hydrophobic :: fatty acid \tails\
:: phosphate \head\ group :: composed of amino acids :: hydrophilic

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Phospholipids: Main component of cell membranes.
  • Polar group: Phosphate "head" group, hydrophilic.
  • Fatty acid "tails": Hydrophobic.
  • Phosphate "head" group: Polar group, hydrophilic.
  • Non - polar region: Fatty acid "tails", hydrophobic.

Answer:

  • phospholipids: main component of cell membranes
  • polar group: phosphate "head" group, hydrophilic
  • fatty acid "tails": hydrophobic
  • phosphate "head" group: polar group, hydrophilic
  • non - polar region: fatty acid "tails", hydrophobic
