Which of the following statements describes the interaction of water molecules with phospholipids? Which of the following statements describes the interaction of water molecules with phospholipids? The polar heads avoid water; the nonpolar tails attract water (because water is polar and opposites attract). The polar heads interact with water; the nonpolar tails do not. Phospholipids do not interact with water because water is polar and lipids are nonpolar. Phospholipids dissolve in water.

The polar heads interact with water; the nonpolar tails do not

Explanation:

A phospholipid contains an ionic head that contains the phosphate group and the nonpolar or hydrophilic tail that is comprised of the alkyl moeity in the phospholipid.

The hydrophilic ionic head can interact with water, while the hydrophilic alkyl tail do not interact with water, hence the answer above.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
