Answer:

<u> They have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails.</u>

Explanation:

Phospholipid membranes are comprised of a chain of lipids. These typically are arranged in a bilayer; the hydrophilic lipid heads are polar, and face outwards, while the hydrophobic tails are polar facing inwards.

The membranes are selectively permeable, and only allow the movement of small, non-polar molecules through the bilayer.

500 points! and brainly for write answer
LenaWriter [7]
Plants make seeds that can grow into new plants, but if the seeds just fall to the ground under the parent plant, they might not get enough sun, water or nutrients from the soil. Because plants cannot walk around and take their seeds to other places, they have developed other methods to disperse (move) their seeds. The most common methods are wind, water, animals, explosion and fire.
