Why do phospholipids form a bilayer in water?

Biology
1 answer:
andrezito [222]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. The phosphate portions attract water, and the lipid portions repel water

Explanation:

The phosphate parts are polar, meaning they're partially charged, so they attract water molecules, which also have partial charges. The lipids are non-polar, so they don't attract water molecules, meaning they can't dissolve in water.
