phosphate
Phosphate molecules.
The polar part of the phospholipid consists of the hydrophilic head, which typically includes a phosphate group and often an alcohol. This polar head is attracted to water, making it hydrophilic, while the fatty acid tails are hydrophobic and repel water. This amphipathic nature allows phospholipids to form bilayers in aqueous environments, crucial for cell membrane structure and function.
No the phosphate group is polar.
The phospholipid heads are hydrophillic and prefer the water while the tails are hydrophobic and are shielded from the water.
The phosphate portion of a phospholipid is hydrophilic, meaning it interacts readily with water due to its polar nature. It is located on the head of the phospholipid molecule, along with other polar groups, forming the hydrophilic "head" of the molecule. This is in contrast to the nonpolar hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid, which cluster together in the interior of cell membranes away from water.

also can be known as polar head since phosphate is polar found in phospholipid bilayer also can be known as polar head since phosphate is polar found in phospholipid bilayer Was this right? i would like to know...
The head (or top) of a phospholipid is polar and the carbon chain tail is non-polar.
The phosphate head group of a phospholipid is charged or polar. It contains a negatively charged phosphate group and is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water.
