Question

what does the detergent attach to and help to remove? cell membrane protein dna rewatch

Explanation:

Detergents are amphipathic molecules (having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions). Cell membranes are made up of phospholipids (also amphipathic). The hydrophobic part of the detergent can interact with the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipids in the cell membrane. This interaction disrupts the cell - membrane structure, and the detergent helps in removing the cell membrane (for example, in DNA extraction protocols where detergents are used to lyse cells by breaking down the cell membrane). Proteins and DNA do not have the same amphipathic nature as the cell membrane that would be the primary target of a detergent's action in terms of attachment and removal in a typical biological sample - processing context (like DNA extraction).

Answer:

Cell membrane
