Phosphate molecules.
The head of the phospholipid is polar,it is hydrophilic in nature and hence attracted towards water,which face outwards in plasma membrane of cell
A non polar head and a polar tail
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.
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The phospholipid bilayer, otherwise known as the cell membrane contains many structures such as these. The individual units you speak of are called phopholipids, and are usually desribed as having a hydrophilic (polar) head group and a hydrophobic (non-polar) tail group. Hope this helps

The head is polar
The head.
The head (or top) of a phospholipid is polar and the carbon chain tail is non-polar.
also can be known as polar head since phosphate is polar found in phospholipid bilayer also can be known as polar head since phosphate is polar found in phospholipid bilayer Was this right? i would like to know...

Lipids, man!Could be the phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane to be more specific.phospholipidSoap and detergent molecules have a polar head and nonpolar tail to help dissolve an dwash off dirt and oil.
