In which direction does the head of the molecules of the plasma membrane face? toward the outside toward the middle away from water toward the head of another molecule

Respuesta :

The head of the molecules of the plasma membrane face towards the outside.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Phospholipids is arranged in a bi-layer, makes up the structure of the plasma layer. The hydrophilic segment of a plasma membrane is its head, and it has a high affinity towards the water. The hydrophilic heads of phospholipids in a layer bi layer faces outward, reaching the (watery) liquid both inside and outside the cell.

The hydrophobic, or "water-dreading" portion of a phospholipid comprises of its long, non polar unsaturated fat tails. The unsaturated fat tails can be without much of a stretch communicate with other non polar atoms, yet they cooperate inadequately with water.
