The polar head group.
The framework of the cell membrane is formed by the lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer is composed of two layers of fat cells organized in two sheets. This is what provides the barrier that makes the boundaries of the cell.
The double layered sheet that makes up nearly all cell membranes is called a lipid bilayer. This structure is composed of phospholipid molecules, with hydrophilic heads facing outward and hydrophobic tails facing inward to form a barrier around the cell.
Phospholipids form a lipid bilayer within the cell membrane. They have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) head and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail, allowing them to arrange in a bilayer structure with the hydrophobic tails facing inward and hydrophilic heads facing outward.
Cell membranes are made of a lipid bilayer with various proteins interspersed.
A plasma membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. The phospholipid bilayer forms a barrier between the cell and its environment, while the proteins help regulate the passage of molecules in and out of the cell.
It depends on which lipid bilayer you're talking about. There is the phospholipid bilayer that surrounds eukaryotic cells, cholesterol phospholipid bilayers, protein lipid bilayers, phase transition lipid bilayer, lipid bilayer membrane...

A phospholipid bilayer is a two-layered arrangement of phosphate and lipid molecules that form a cell membrane, the hydrophobic lipid ends facing inward and the hydrophilic phosphate ends facing outward. Also called lipid bilayer.http://dictionary.infoplease.com/phospholipid-bilayer

Yes, that's correct. Cell surface proteins are embedded within or attached to the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. They interact with the lipid bilayer through hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions, allowing them to float on the surface or be partially embedded within the membrane.
