A phosfate radical (phosforus) and lipidic (fat/esteroid) chain.
The phospholipid composition of lecithin can be determined using techniques such as thin-layer chromatography (TLC) or liquid chromatography (HPLC). These techniques separate and quantify the different phospholipid species present in the lecithin sample. Mass spectrometry can also be used to identify and quantify individual phospholipid molecules within the sample.
No it is in fact not a phospholipid just a lipid. A phospholipid needs a phosphate group and cholesterols molecular formula is C-27 H-46 O and with no Phosphate it can not be a phospholipid.
A phospholipid bi-layer.
The head and tail is a phospholipid molecule
No... It is a lipid because it is a hormone and hormones are lipids, but it is not a phospholipid.
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule

Yes, that is why one of the membrane's names is, phospholipid bilayer.
phospholipid
It depends on which lipid bilayer you're talking about. There is the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds eukaryotic cells, cholesterol phospholipid bilayers, protein lipid bilayers, phase transition lipid bilayer, lipid bilayer membrane...
