Phospholipids

Phospholipids

Phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane

They are amphipathic, containing a hydrophilic polar head and hydrophobic nonpolar tail.

Phospholipids

Due to their amphipathic nature, phospholipids can form micelles in water.

Micelles are spheres with the hydrophillic head of the phospholipid toward the outside and the hydrophobic tails towards the inside.

Phospholipids

The amphipathic property of phospholipids allow cell membranes to form.
