A)polar bonds with the nonpolar end of the phospholipid molecule.
B)polar bonds with the polar end of the phospholipid molecule.
C)hydrogen bonds with the nonpolar end of the phospholipid molecule.
D)hydrogen bonds with the polar end of the phospholipid molecule.
E)covalent bonds with the nonpolar end of the phospholipid molecule.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water molecules are polar, meaning they have a positively charged end and a negatively charged end. The polar end of the phospholipid molecule can interact with the polar end of water, forming hydrogen bonds. The nonpolar end of the phospholipid cannot form bonds with water because it is not charged, so it is excluded. Therefore, choice D is the best answer.

A Phospholipid Molecule Has a Polar and a Nonpolar End
