Answer 1

Fatty acid structure in an Hydrophilic — foo32 Япор head - Phosphate • Orlycerol Hydrophobic 'fatty acid fatty acid Cunsaturated) tails. - Fatty acid (saturated) Fatty acids are cell membrane component. They also known lipid. as phospho- They can form lipid bilayers because of their amphiphilic characteristic. They consists of two hydrophobic fatly . acid "tails" and a hydrophilic "head? consisting of a phosphate group! The two components are usually joined together by a glycerol molecule. The phosphate groups can be modified with simple organic molecules such as choline, ethanolamine on serine, Function : This fatty acids are structural "building blocks" of cell membranes to suppliers of energy and signalling molecules. They form the protective layer of cells.
