How are two layers of phospholipids arranged tail to tail in biological membranes?

In biological membranes, two layers of phospholipids are arranged tail to tail with their hydrophobic tails facing inward and their hydrophilic heads facing outward. This arrangement creates a barrier that separates the inside and outside of the cell.


Which of the following possess glycerol-based phospholipids as part of their cell membranes?

How are phospholipids arranged in a plasma membrane and what is their role in maintaining the structure and function of the membrane?

Phospholipids in a plasma membrane are arranged in a bilayer, with the hydrophilic heads facing outward and the hydrophobic tails facing inward. This arrangement helps maintain the structure of the membrane and allows it to be selectively permeable, regulating the passage of substances in and out of the cell. The phospholipids also play a role in cell signaling and maintaining the integrity of the membrane.
