Question

What is the difference between head and tails of a phospholipid are?; Do phospholipid tails attract water?; What attracts water in the cell membrane?; What is the function of the tails on the phospholipids?

Answer 1

1: A phospholipid consists of a head and a tail. The "head" of the molecule contains the phosphate group and is hydrophilic, meaning that it will dissolve in water. The "tail" of the molecule is made up of two fatty acids, which are hydrophobic and do not dissolve in water.
