Question

The head group of a glycolipid is composed of _______________.

1) amphipathic
2) hydrophobic
3) phosphatidylserine
4) cholesterol
5) lipid bilayer
6) phospholipids
7) fatty acid tails
8) lipid monolayer proteins
9) glycolipids
10) lipids
11) sterols
12) hydrophilic head groups
13) phosphatidylcholine
14) sugars

Answer 1

A glycolipid is composed of a hydrophilic head group and two hydrophobic tails.

Step-by-step explanation:

A glycolipid is composed of a hydrophilic head group and two hydrophobic tails. The head group consists of a phosphate-containing group attached to a glycerol molecule. The hydrophobic tails, each containing either a saturated or an unsaturated fatty acid, are long hydrocarbon chains.
