32. How does the polar head and non-polar tails of a phospholipid allow phospholipid bilayers to form the cell
membrane?

Answer 1

Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules. This means that they have a hydrophilic, polar phosphate head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails. These components of the phospholipids cause them to orientate themselves, so the phosphate head can interact with water and the fatty acid tails can't, hence forming a bilayer
