Question

Part A Which of the following features of phospholipids allows for the phospholipid to interact with the aqueous environment in the extracellular media and the intracellular cytosolic environment? O The three-carbon glycenal backbone o Fatty acids, attached to the three-carbon glycerol backbone of the phospholipid through ester linkages Phospholipids do not interact with aqueous environments, such as the extracellular between the cell and the aqueous extracellular and intracellular environments O medium or the cytosolic medium. Phospholipids provide a purely hydrophobic barrier O The presence of a polar or charged head group attached to the phosphate Provide Feedback

Explanation / Answer

Answer:- The correct option is D. Presence of a polar or charged head attached to a phosphate. It contributes to the dual nature of the plasma membrane that has hydrophobicity as well as hydrophilicity.
