Question

Which of the following statement is true of the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane?

A) there is a hydrophobic side inside the cell
B) there is a water-loving side outside the cell
C) there is a water -fearing side inside the cell
D) there is a hydrophobic side outside the cell

A) There is a hydrophobic side inside the cell
The phospholipid molecules are arranged to keep the hydrophillic heads outside and the hydrophobic tails inside the cell
Note: "hydrophobic" means water hating/fearing so answer C is the same as answer A.
