Phospholipids are the outermost layers of animal cells. Its structure is composed of fatty acid chains that are attached to a glycerol backbone, and a phosphate group that is modified by an alcohol. 

The polar end of the phospholipid plasma membrane is hydrophilic (water-loving or can absorb water) and is a negatively charged phosphate group. In the cell they are facing outward, attracting intracellular and extracellular fluid. 

The non-polar tails of the phospholipid are fatty acid chains that are hydrophobic (water-fearing or unable to absorb water). The tails are facing the inside of the cell away from water towards the inner membrane of the cell.

What drives surface currents
frozen [14]
Winds drive currents near coastal areas on a localized scale, and in the open ocean on a global scale. A third factor that drives currents is thermohaline circulation - a process driven by density differences in water due to temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline) in different parts of the ocean.
