- A hydrophilic "head" that contains a phosphate group.
- Two (2) hydrophobic "tails" joined by an alcohol residue and that are mainly derived from fatty acids.
This ultimately implies that, a large potion of the cell (plasma) membrane is made up of lipids, which are mainly phospholipids and they control the movement of large hydrophilic molecules such as alkanes, oils, and fats.
