Phospholipids are made up of both water loving, and water repelling materials.
They head, which is made of glycerol, is water repelling and therefore forms the outer and inner parts of the cell, away from the water. Where as the tails are made up of fatty acids that are water loving and point in between the heads, and into the water between the two glycerol layers.

Hydrophilic means 'water-loving', while hydrophobic means 'water-hating'. (Hence the root word phobia in hydrophobic.)

What is the polar head of a phospholipid is made of molecules?
Phosphate molecules.
What type of molecules is the polar head of phospholipid made from?
phosphate
Which molecules have heads and tails in the plasma membrane?
phospholipid molecules....they have polar hydrophillic head(like water-as there is phosphate group attached on it..phosphate group has oxygen molecules with all their pairs of unshared electrons.) and hydrophobic tails(scare water)
What group does the polar end of a phospholipid contain?
A phospholipid is a type of fat found in the body. Phospholipids are made up of a polar hydrophilic head and a nonpolar hydrophobic tail. Hydrophilic means water-loving and hydrophobic means water hating.
Why is one of the phospholipid polar and the other non polar?
Phospholipids are made up of a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. The head group has a 'special' region that changes between various phospholipids. This head group will differ between cell membranes [types of cells] or different concentrations of specific 'head groups'. The fatty acid tails call also differ, but there is always one saturated and one unsaturated 'leg' of the tail.
What molecules is the polar head of a phospholipid made of?
Phosphate molecules.

What group does the polar end of a phospholipid contain?
A phospholipid is a type of fat found in the body. Phospholipids are made up of a polar hydrophilic head and a nonpolar hydrophobic tail. Hydrophilic means water-loving and hydrophobic means water hating.
Which part of a phospholipid is charged or polar?
Phospholipids are made of two parts: the phosphate and the lipid. In this setup, the phosphate is the half that is polar, and thus the part that interacts with water.
What part of a phospholipid is polar and non-polar?
The phospholipid bilayer in cell membranes is both polar and nonpolar. The heads, which face the outside and inside of the cell, are polar. Thus they form hydrogen bonds with the water outside of the cell and the cytoplasm inside the cell. They are called "hydrophilic," which means they love water. The tails are on the inside of the bilayer and are nonpolar. They are hydrophobic, which literally means they are scared of water.
What is a phospholipid bilayer and where would you find it?
Phospholipids are polymers made up of two fatty acids, glycerol, a phosphate group and a polar molecule. A cell's membrane consists phospholipids where they form two layers (with the polar molecules facing opposite ends) to separate the interior of the cell from the outside environment. This is called a phospholipid bilayer.
