Answer:

Two back-to-back phospholipid layers with the polar heads facing out on both sides

Explanation:

Phospholipids are made up of a head  and two tails. The head can be described as a phosphate molecule that is water loving (hydrophilic) whereas fatty acids make up the two tails. The fatty acids repel water and hence are hydrophobic. The assembling of the phospholipids for the the formation of cell membrane depends on these hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. The assembling of the phospholipids is in two layers. The phosphate head face outwards on both sides to attract water and the tails tend to hide from the water molecules by being composed in the layers of the head. this assembling is termed as the "self-assembly".
