Which is a component of a phospholipid? carbon ring hydrophilic head long-chain alcohol amino acid

Ans.

Phospholipids are defined as lipid derivatives, which act as a major component of plasma membrane of all living cells. Phospholipids are made up of two fatty acid tails, attached with a glycerol group present in the head region.

These molecules are amphiphilic in nature, as they both hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature. The fatty acid molecules are responsible for the hydrophobic nature of phospholipids ta, while the glycerol group provides hydrophilic head.

Thus, the correct answer is option). 'hydrophilic head.'

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
