How Do Phospholipids Interact with Water Molecules

Question

How do phospholipids interact with water molecules?
A)The polar heads avoid water, and the nonpolar tails attract water.
B)Phospholipids do not interact with water because water is polar and lipids are nonpolar.
C)The polar heads interact with water, and the nonpolar tails do not.
D)The hydrocarbon tails form hydrogen bonds with water.
E)Both the polar head and lipid backbone from hydrogen bonds with water.

Accepted Answer

The polar heads of phospholipids are hydrophilic and can interact with water through hydrogen bonding, while the nonpolar tails are hydrophobic and avoid water.
