Question

Define the term amphiphilic and describe how it determines the arrangement of phospholipids into a bilayer.

Answer 1

Amphiphilic means that there is both a hydrophilic and hydrophobic part.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two parts to the phospholipids, a head an a tail. The head group is hydrophilic (Likes water) and the tail is hydrophobic (hates water). Bilayer means to layers, so there are two sections with the heads pointed out or inwards in regard to the cell and the tails intertwine with each other
