A phospholipid is a biomolecule composed of a phosphate group that is bonded to two lipid chains. Which of the following correctly describes the nature of those two components? (a) The phosphate group is hydrophobic, and the lipid chains are hydrophilic. (b) Both the phosphate group and the lipid chains are hydrophilic. (c) Both the phosphate group and the lipid chains are hydrophobic. (d) The phosphate group is hydrophilic, and the lipid chains are hydrophobic.
The term phospholipid can best be described by which of the following? Select one: A. a nonpolar lipid molecule that is made polar by the addition of a phosphate B. a nonpolar lipid molecule that is made amphipathic by the addition of a phosphate C. a polar lipid molecule that fully repels water D. a polar lipid molecule that fully interacts with water
