Question

determine whether each region in this phospholipid is hydrophilic or hydrophobic. each label will be used multiple times.

Explanation:

Hydrophilic regions interact with water and are often polar or charged. Hydrophobic regions repel water and are non - polar. In a phospholipid, the phosphate - containing head group is hydrophilic due to its polar nature, while the fatty acid tails are hydrophobic as they are non - polar hydrocarbon chains.

Answer:

The head - group region (the part with the phosphate and attached groups) is Hydrophilic. The fatty acid tail regions are Hydrophobic.
