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
Fatty acids , Glycerol , phosphoric acid and nitrogenous base are components of phospholipid.

The polar end of the molecule is soluble in water (hydrophilic) and water solutions (including cytoplasm); the other, fatty-acid end is soluble in fats(hydrophobic).Read more: phospholipid
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule

phospholipid
A phospholipid is an organic compound that contains a phosphare group in the molecule and is a fatty acid or derivative of a fatty acid. Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids.
One of the glycerine ester bonding sites is taken by a phosphate group and this allows only two fatty acid tails in the phospholipid molecule.
Due to presence of double bond in tail .
A phospholipid has 2 fatty acid chains and a phosphate group.
