Stephen Hawking dismisses belief in God in an exclusive interview with the Guardian. Photograph: Solar & Heliospheric Observatory/Discovery Channel T he belief that heaven or an afterlife awaits us is a fairy story for people afraid of death, Stephen Hawking has said. In a dismissal that underlines his firm rejection of religious comforts, Britain's most eminent scientist said there was nothing beyond the moment when the brain flickers for the final time.
How are the tails and heads of membrane phospholipids oriented in their environment? a. The hydrophobic heads are oriented towards each other and the hydrophillic tails are oriented towards the extracellular fluid and the intracellular fluid.
The hydrophilic phosphate heads like water, so they touch the inside and the outside of the cell where the environments are aqueous. The fatty acid tails form a hydrophobic region in the middle, which is free of water.This cell membrane helps in structuring the cell and also controls which substances can cross it.o do hydrophilic molecules. Therefore, the hydrophobic tails of a phospholipid would want to stay with the oil layer of the salad dressing, while the hydrophilic head of the phospholipid would be attracted to the water layer. It would look like the phospholipid was doing a hand stand in the salad dressing.
