Option Both A and B
A phospholipid consists of a head and a tail.
- There are two parts to phospholipids: a head and a tail. The phosphate group is located in the "head" of the molecule, which is hydrophilic and will dissolve in water. Two hydrophobic fatty acids that make up the molecule's "tail" and prevent it from dissolving in water
- While the tails (the lipid component) are non-polar, the heads (the phospho part) are polar. The tails, which face the inside of the cell membrane, are "hydrophobic," but the heads, which make up the exterior and inner linings, are "hydrophilic" (water loving) (water fearing).
- Two hydrophobic "tails," which are fatty acid chains, make up phospholipids, and one hydrophilic "head," which is a phosphate group. The "head" is normally located at position sn-3, where they link with glycerol.
