Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -All of the lipid molecules in cell membranes are amphipathic (or amphiphilic)-that is, they have a hydrophilic (“water-loving”) or polar end and a hydrophobic (“water-fearing”) or nonpolar end. The most abundant membrane lipids are the phospholipids. These have a polar head group and two hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails.
