Phospholipids are the essential 'bulk' part of the lipid bilayer that make up cell membranes. Phospholipids have a hydrophylic (water-loving) phosphate head and hydrophobic (water-hating) aliphatic hydrocarbon tails. When in solution (such as water), such molecules naturally pack together to form a complete structure called a mycelle.

In Biology, this of course allows for the formation of membranes- essential for life to exist as it does. In general science, mycelles exist everywhere. For example, when you use washing up liquid, the resulting bubbles are mycelles- as are droplets of oil in water etc.

That depends on what kind of cell it is. If it is a Eukaryotic cell than it will have a nucleus, cell mambrane, and regular organells like the mitochondria. Its DNA is carried in the Nucleus. And prokaryotic cells dont have any of this!
