Phospholipids

Phospholipids, where one end is hydrophobic and the other is hydrophilic.
Phospholipids
A phospholipid bilayer.
It is a phospholipid bilayer.
The lipid bilayer makes up the membrane of a cell. The lipid bilayer consists of opposing phospholipids, where the polar ends of both the top layer and the bottom layer of phospholipids face opposite directions.
The plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells are composed of a phospholipid bilayer.
"Phospholipid bilayer of the mitochondrial inner membrain"
The main molecules are lipids (with different fatty acid chains depending upon the kind of membrane), proteins (that can be associated with the external part of the lipid bilayer, embedded in the lipid bilayer and those associated with the interior part of it ), and sugars (complex polysaccharides that can be part of the docking site of protein receptors, to have function of blood types, or to be recognized by antibodies).
The basic structure of cell membranes is a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids have a phosphate group (the head) and a lipid tail.
