notsponge [240]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer would be Hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head. Just some background info, this is located in the cell membrane and the cell membrane is made of up something called the Lipid Bilayer. The word "bi" means 2, so it comprise of 2 layers of phospholipids. These 2 layers of phospholipids are called hyrodrohpbic and hydrophilic. The word "phobic" means fear, so they hydrophobic molecules are NOT attracted to water. Hydrophilic molecules, however, ARE attracted to the molecules.

Hope this helps!
