phospholipids molecules polar? Non-polar? what does their polarity create?

-Cell membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer -phospholipids are made up of a fatty acid tail and a phosphate head -the phosphate head is hydrophilic and the fatty acid tail is hydrophobic -because of this, the phospholipids situate into a bilateral with the heads pointing outward toward the water filled environment and the tails facing inwards away from the water -since most of the phospholipid bilayer is made of the nonpolar fatty acid tails, small nonpolar molecules are the only molecules that can pass through the small gaps in the bilayer (ex: oxygen, carbon dioxide, iodine, and nitrogen)

Together, the pancreatic juice is a buffer that neutralizes the acids coming from the stomach. -peristalsis occurs again as the food bolus moves through the small intestine (jejunum and ileum) -the small intestine secretes amino peptidases, carboxypeptidases, sucrase, lactase and other finishers that complete the final breakdown of all molecules into monomers -the interior of the small intestine contains villi which increase the surface area -food then leaves the small intestine and enters the large intestine or colon -the first part of the large intestine is the caecum, where the appendix is attached -as the food bolus moves through the colon and into the rectum, water is removed and the bolus solidifies -the indigestible remains leave the body through the anal sphincter (anus)
