Answer:

It's a Bilayer

Step-by-step explanation:

The lipid bilayer (or phospholipid bilayer) is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules. ... The cell membranes of almost all organisms and many viruses are made of a lipid bilayer, as are the nuclear membrane surrounding the cell nucleus, and membranes of the membrane-bound organelles in the cell.

A cell membrane is a bilayer made up of phospholipids. The hydrophobic tails of the lipids make up the inside layer of the membrane while the hydrophilic heads touch the fluid both outside and inside of the cell
