Answer to Problem 26LC

Phospholipids form a double layer, which is known as a lipid bilayer in water.

Explanation of Solution

A phospholipid is a lipid that contains a phosphate group and is the major component of the cell membrane.

The phospholipid molecule consists of a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic tail, as the name suggests the hydrophobic tail is the water-hating site and the hydrophilic head is the water-loving site.

In water, the tail of the hydrophobic end is sandwiched between the two layers of the hydrophilic heads.
