Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The cell membrane is primarily composed of phospholipids arranged in a bilayer, with the hydrophobic tails on the interior of the membrane, and the hydrophilic heads pointing outwards.
Detailed explanation-2: -Phospholipids are amphiphilic molecules with hydrophobic fatty acid chains and hydrophilic moieties. They occur naturally in all living organisms as the major components of cell membranes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Phospholipids are a key component of all cell membranes. They can form lipid bilayers because of their amphiphilic characteristic. In eukaryotes, cell membranes also contain another class of lipid, sterol, interspersed among the phospholipids.
