What is the structure and function of a phospholipid in the cell membrane?
gpt
A phospholipid is a molecule that makes up the cell membrane, having a polar, hydrophilic head and a nonpolar, hydrophobic tail.
Explanation: Phospholipids are bipolar molecules crucial for cell membrane structure and function, allowing for selective permeability. Their unique heads and tails enable them to form a phospholipid bilayer.
