Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: toward the outside

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

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

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step 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.
