Answer: The correct answer is-

b.the hydrocarbon tails.

A phospholipid molecule comprises of a head group (that contains polar phosphate molecule) that is hydrophilic ( water attracting groups due to formation of hydrogen bonding or ionic bonds with water molecules) and two tails of fatty acid ( which are hydrophobic that is water repelling groups).

In this question, a single layer of phospholipid coats the water in a beaker. This means that head group of this layer is in contact of water ( present in the beaker) and the two fatty acid tails of hydrocarbon ( that are water repelling) are facing air.

Thus, option b) is the right answer.

The part of the phospholipid molecule that will face the water, as it is labelled to be hydrophilic would be the polar phosphate group. The correct response would be A.

The microorganisms that inhabit the sludge at the bottom of a lake would live in which microbiota zone
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a lake, oxygenic phototrophs produce new organic material as  well as O₂. If primary production rates are very high, the resultant  excessive organic matter production can lead to bottom-water O₂ depletion from respiration and the development of anoxic conditions.  This in turn stimulates anaerobic metabolisms, including  anaerobic respirations and fermentations.

Organic matter that is not  consumed in surface layers sinks to the depths and is decomposed  by anaerobes.
