The cell membrane. It's called a bi-layer, and contains two layers of phospholipids. The tails interact with one another while the heads interact with the aqueous solution.

What is double layered with molecules that have hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic head it is found in all cell and it controls what enters and leaves the cell?
Cytoplasm
What is a double walled with molecules that have hydrophobic tails and hydrophilic head?
Phospholipid Bilayer
What molecules add support to plasma membrane?
The intrinsic properties of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic/hydrophilic double layer of the membrane gives it support, due to the hydrophobic effect.
What best describe the structure of a cell membrane?
A double layered fluid structure containing sort of loose but contained things such as proteins, cholesterol molecules, etc. It has a hydrophobic layer of longer apolar lipid chains sandwiched in between two hydrophilic (polar) lipid edges.
How do the hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of phospholipids help in maintaining the structure of the cell membrane?
Hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water. Hydrophobic molecules are not attracted to water, but they are attracted to each other. Phospholipid molecules are unusual because they are partly hydrophilic and partly hydrophobic. The phosphate head is hydrophilic and the two hydrocarbon tails are hydrophobic. In water, phospholipids form double layer with the hydrophilic heads in contact with water on both sides and the hydrophilic tails away from water in the centre. This arrangement is found in biological membranes. The attraction between the hydrophobic tails in the centre and between the hydrophilic heads and the surrounding water makes membranes veery stable.
What is the double layered membrane surrounding each lung?

How many layer in Blu-ray disk and its capacity?
Like DVDs, Blu-Rays are double-layered and a double-layered Blu-Ray disc can hold up to a maximum of 50 GB, which is 5 times more data than a double-layered DVD can hold
