Glycerol backbone, with fatty acids attached to C1 and C2 and a phosphate attached at the last carbon. Attached to it is a base or an alcohol.

that meand there no plasma membrene
Most structures consist of a phospholipid bi-layer although that term is mostly associated with the cell wall in my experience. other structures such as the rough and smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum also use phospholipid bi-layers to partian themselves from the rest of the cell.
The phospholipid bilayer is the primary structural component of the plasma membrane. It consists of two layers of phospholipids arranged with their hydrophilic heads facing outward towards the aqueous environment and their hydrophobic tails facing inward, creating a barrier that separates the interior of the cell from the extracellular environment. Therefore, the phospholipid bilayer forms the basis of the plasma membrane's structure and function.
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
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
No... It is a lipid because it is a hormone and hormones are lipids, but it is not a phospholipid.
