Answer:
Each one has two fatty acid chains and the glycerol backbone is bonded to a small polar group.
Explanation:
Phospholipid is a unique form of lipid. The bonding of the glycerol backbone to the polar phosphate group makes phospholipid to have dual solubility unlike general triglycerides.
The polar head is said to be hydrophillic that is <u>water loving,</u> while the two carbon chains that retained lipid features are hydrophobic <u>water hating.</u>
Therefore if a phopholipid is placed in water, in relation to its functions as component of cell membrane, it forms a bi-layer in which the water loving portion hydrophilic head points into the surrounding watery medium, while the hydrophobic layer points inwards far away from the watery medium into the internal cellular layer to form an impermeable barrier to hydrophilic (polar) substances.
This forms the basis of the phospholipd bilayer of the cell membrane. And it controls the permeability of the cell membrane to influx substances into the cells.
Paleontologists can identify organisms that may be ancient relatives of those living today. By looking at fossils they can also suggest how these organisms lived together in an ancient habitat. Few organisms become fossilized because the circumstances that an organism has to be in is very specific.

members of the same species battle each other to protect their young
