Answer:

3 - phosphate group (head) ; hydrophilic ; water and/ or polar substances

4 - is attracted to water and other polar substances.

Step-by-step explanation:

Phospholipids have two parts: a hydrophilic head (phosphate group) and hydrophobic tails (fatty acids). Hydrophilic basically means a substance that is attracted to water (Hence, hydro - water and phile - loving), and thus, by virtue, to other polar substances (since water is polar).
