Phospholipids are Important Molecules in the Cell Membrane

Question

Phospholipids are important molecules in the cell membrane.

Accepted Answer

Phospholipids are the main components of the cell membrane, forming a bilayer that separates the internal environment of the cell from the external environment. They have a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and a hydrophobic (water-fearing) tail, allowing them to form a barrier that regulates the passage of substances in and out of the cell.
