The lipid part of the cell phospholipid bilayer is hydrophobic and is responsible for repelling water. The hydrophobic ends face inward towards each other while the hydrophilic ends face outwards, which are saturated with water.
Lipids are what actually form the plasma membrane for the most part. They form a lipid bilayer which are two layers put together. They keep fluids within the cell or stop unwanted fluids from entering, while allowing certain particles to pass when needed. They act as a border for the cell to regulate size and security
cell membrane
Nonpolar fatty acid chains.Non fatty acid chains
The cell breaks open, because the cell membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer
Fatty acids , Glycerol , phosphoric acid and nitrogenous base are components of phospholipid.
Lipids. Fats that you take in from your food is used to build membranes. Membranes can be represented by models such as The Fluid Mosaic Model, which displays the phospholipid bilayr, and other tissues on the membrane.The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are non-polar and hydrophobic.Polyunsaturated fatty acids, Saturated fatty acids, Monounsaturated fatty acidsLauric Acid, Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid , Arachidonic Acid

Small, nonpolarn hydrophobic molecules such as fatty acids easily pass through a membrane's lipid bilayer.
