Best Answer

A membrane composed of phospholipids. Called the phospholipid bilayer, it's two phospholipids with their "heads" facing opposing directions and their "tails" facing inward. They have a natural tendency to come together in a spherical shape and they pack themselves in relatively tight together, through differences in polarity of the tails of the phospholipids against their surroundings.
