It is known that phospholipd has a head and two tails. The head would be spherical, and the tails similar to those of spermatozoid but not so long and thin.
No it is in fact not a phospholipid just a lipid. A phospholipid needs a phosphate group and cholesterols molecular formula is C-27 H-46 O and with no Phosphate it can not be a phospholipid.
A phospholipid bi-layer.
The head and tail is a phospholipid molecule
No... It is a lipid because it is a hormone and hormones are lipids, but it is not a phospholipid.
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule

Yes, that is why one of the membrane's names is, phospholipid bilayer.
phospholipid
It depends on which lipid bilayer you're talking about. There is the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds eukaryotic cells, cholesterol phospholipid bilayers, protein lipid bilayers, phase transition lipid bilayer, lipid bilayer membrane...
Another name for the phospholipid bilayer is the plasma membrane or the cell membrane.
