How are the tails and heads of membrane phospholipids oriented in their environment? a. The hydrophobic heads are oriented towards each other and the hydrophillic tails are oriented towards the extracellular fluid and the intracellular fluid.
The plasma membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer, which is two layers of phospholipids back-to-back. Phospholipids are lipids with a phosphate group attached to them. The phospholipids have one head and two tails.The head is polar and hydrophilic, or water-loving.ll cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane. The membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer arranged back-to-back. The membrane is also covered in places with cholesterol molecules and proteins.
