1 answer
Phospholipids are made of a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails. The heads are attracted to and interact with water molecules, which means they are water-loving or polar. The tails are repelled by water molecules, which means they are water-hating or nonpolar. The heads face out towards the aqueous environment and the tails face inward towards each other.
