with substances like water AND oil? *
Phospholipid molecules are completely nonpolar so they don't interact with polar
compounds
Phospholipid molecules are both polar and nonpolar
Phospholipid molecules are completely polar so they don't interact with nonpolar
compounds
O Phospholipid molecules are small so they are unaffected by water and oil

Answer:

The Lipid Bilayer

Step-by-step explanation:

The lipid bilayer has been firmly established as the universal basis for cell-membrane structure. It is easily seen by electron microscopy, although specialized techniques, such as x-ray diffraction and freeze-fracture electron microscopy, are needed to reveal the details of its organization. The bilayer structure is attributable to the special properties of the lipid molecules, which cause them to assemble spontaneously into bilayers even under simple artificial conditions.
