Answer:

The main lipids found in cell membranes are called Phospholipids.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most abundant membrane lipids are the phospholipids. These have a polar head group and two hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails. The tails are usually fatty acids, and they can differ in length (they normally contain between 14 and 24 carbon atoms).
