Homework Statement
Phospholipids have headgroups and hydrocarbon chains as follows:
A. amphipathic, non polar
B. non polar, polar
C. polar, non polar
D. charged, non polar
Homework Equations
phospholipids have a phosphate head group and fatty acid residue hydrocarbon tails.
The Attempt at a Solution
I have eliminated A and B as they are obviously incorrect.
I would classify phospholipid heads as being both charged, and (thus) polar.
C and D seem to be, both, correct answers to me.
But of course there should be only one.
