Answer:

The correct answer will be nonpolar and hydrophobic.

Explanation:

Phospholipid molecules are the main components of the plasma membrane or cell membrane. These are the lipid molecules which consists of a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and a hydrophobic (water-fearing) tail.

The hydrophilic head is made up of glycerol attached to the phosphate group while the hydrophobic tail is made of two long fatty acids which are attached to the glycerol molecule. The long fatty acyl chain provides the hydrophobic nature of phospholipids which makes cell membrane of the cell.

Thus, nonpolar and hydrophobic is the correct answer.
