Question
complete the table to compare the structures of a protein and a lipid.
| protein | lipid | |
|---|---|---|
| may contain fatty acids | ||
| may contain a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails |
Brief Explanations
Proteins are composed of amino - acids and can have multiple polypeptide chains. They do not contain fatty acids, hydrophilic heads, or hydrophobic tails typically associated with lipids. Lipids, such as phospholipids, can have fatty acids, and phospholipids have a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails.
