A plough (UK) or plow (US; both /ËplaÊ/) is a tool or farm implement used in farming for initial cultivation of soil in preparation for sowing seed or planting to loosen or turn the soil. Ploughs were traditionally drawn by working animals such as horses or cattle, but in modern times are drawn by tractors.
Polar/Nonpolar Regions. In a biological membrane, the phospholipids are organized into a bilayer, which serves as the framework in which the other components of the membrane are embedded.
A phospholipid is composed of two fatty acids, a glycerol unit, a phosphate group and a polar molecule. The phosphate group and polar head region of the molecule is hydrophillic (attracted to water), while the fatty acid tail is hydrophobic (repelled by water).
