The chlorophyll molecule is embedded in the core of thylakoid membrane which acts as___________?
Correct answer: B. Hydrophobic
- A. Hydrophilic
- B. Hydrophobic
- C. Both of these
- D. None of these
Explanation
The core of the thylakoid membrane is made largely of nonpolar lipid tails, so it is hydrophobic and can accommodate the nonpolar regions of chlorophyll and other membrane proteins. The likely mistake is choosing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic by considering the whole membrane, but the question specifically asks about its core.
