multiple choice question
which term describes the polar head of a phospholipid?
hydrophilic
amphipathic
hydrophobic
neutral

Explanation:

Polar molecules interact favorably with water. The polar head of a phospholipid is attracted to water, which is the definition of hydrophilic. Amphipathic describes the entire phospholipid (having both polar and nonpolar regions), hydrophobic refers to the nonpolar tails, and neutral does not apply to the charged/polar head.

Answer:

Hydrophilic
