The upper left part of the phospholipid bilayer, also known as the hydrophilic head, consists of a phosphate group that is attracted to water molecules. This hydrophilic region faces outward and interacts with the surrounding aqueous environment.
The head is polar
Phosphate containing part that is soluble in water (hydrophilic).
The substance that forms the hydrophobic tail on the back end of a phospholipid are fatty acids. Phospholipids are not "true fats" as they have a phosphate group that replaces one of the fatty acids

The head is polar
the two fatty acid tails
the inside of it, the phospholipid's tails
That would be the hydrophobic lipid tail.

Glycerol is always a part of every triglyceride and phospholipid.
The phospholipid bilayer. plasma membrane
Phosphate containing part that is soluble in water (hydrophilic).
Phospholipid bilayer
The tails, the part that doesn't contain phosphorus, are non polar and they are hydrophobic (afraid of water).
