The head is hydrophilic and the tail is hydrophobic.
The phosphate ion head is the hydophilic portion of the phospholipid molecule.
the head (phosphate group) is the hydrophilic part.
yes they do.
The hydrophilic regions of a transmembrane protein are likely to be found on the exterior of the membrane. The transmembrane protein may have three parts: a hydrophilic segment, a hydrophobic segment, and another hydrophilic segment. The hydrophobic region would be in between the hydrophilic regions. The hydrophobic region will be embedded in the membrane and the hydrophilic regions will be on the inside and outside of the membrane.
The intrinsic properties of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic/hydrophilic double layer of the membrane gives it support, due to the hydrophobic effect.
A polar molecule is hydrophilic, which means that it will easily dissolve in water. Examples of hydrophilic molecules are sugars and salts.
they are hydrophilic
No, it is asymmetric with hydrophilic portion on the outside and hydrophobic on the inside.

The "head" of the membrane, the phosphate.
Tail
The cell membrane is formed from a phospholipid bilayer, with the hydrophobic lipid portions (the tails) on the inner portion and the hydrophilic portion of the phospholipid (the heads) facing the inner and outer surfaces. There are also proteins in the cell membranes.

the hydrophilic easier than hydrophobic substances
The phospholipid have a hydrophilic (water attracting)_______
they are hydrophilic
No, it is asymmetric with hydrophilic portion on the outside and hydrophobic on the inside.
Yes, the phosphate head which are hydrophillic is facing outside the cell and inside the cell. (Its a bilayer of phospholipids, and the fatty acid tails(hydrophobic) face each other)
The parts of the plasma membrane (I am assuming that you are referring to the plasma membrane) are hydrophilic (water-loving) heads, hydrophobic (water-hating) tails, cholesterol, carb chains, and integral proteins. The plasma membrane is known to be fluid-mosaic, meaning that its motion is wave-like. The hydrophilic head is located on the very outside of the plasma membrane and the inside of the cell. The hydrophobic tails are located in between the two hydrophilic heads. The cholestrol is located inside the plasma membrane to not allow the tails to be tangled. Carb chains are located outside of the plasma membrane (along with hydrophilic heads) and is there for chemical ID of the cell. Integral proteins are also located outside the plasma membrane; its function to shape materials needed inside the cell to a certain shape (diffusion). hydrophilic head-> OO <- hydrophilic head hydrophobic tails---------^
