Lipids. Fats that you take in from your food is used to build membranes. Membranes can be represented by models such as The Fluid Mosaic Model, which displays the phospholipid bilayr, and other tissues on the membrane.The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are non-polar and hydrophobic.Polyunsaturated fatty acids, Saturated fatty acids, Monounsaturated fatty acidsLauric Acid, Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid , Arachidonic Acid
Fatty acids , Glycerol , phosphoric acid and nitrogenous base are components of phospholipid.
The fatty acid tails of the phospholipid molecule would reject the polar molecule glucose, as the tails are nonpolar and hydrophobic in nature. Glucose is hydrophilic and would not be compatible with the hydrophobic environment created by the fatty acid tails.
Nonpolar fatty acid chains.Non fatty acid chains
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
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
the two fatty acid tails
A phospholipid contains two fatty acid chains.
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule

A phospholipid is an organic compound that contains a phosphare group in the molecule and is a fatty acid or derivative of a fatty acid. Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids.
One of the glycerine ester bonding sites is taken by a phosphate group and this allows only two fatty acid tails in the phospholipid molecule.
The bend in the fatty acid tail of a phospholipid molecule is due to the presence of double bonds in the carbon chain. These unsaturated fatty acids cause a kink or bend in the tail, affecting the fluidity and packing of phospholipid molecules in the cell membrane.

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.
